THIS BOOK 

Is Dedicated to those who wish to retain their 

YOUTH 

and to those who find YOUTH slipping 

away but wish to obtain YOUTH 

again in the natural way. 



FOREWORD 

This Foreword or Introduction to my book, YOUTH, Second 
Edition, is by that wel-known author, critic and dietitian, Dr. Axel 
Emil Gibson of Los Angeles, California. 

In his present volume Dr. George Starr White has 
given to the thinking, helth-seeking, work-a-day world 
a new gide in life and living. It is an offering of knoledge 
and good wil in the servis of humanity. It is a book which 
reveals to the reader that love of mony and ambition for 
fame ar not always the leading motivs for endevors in 
this world. The painstaking reserch work of collecting, 
testing and collaborating of facts, the slo, patient try- 
ing-out of individual cures, and the fearless introduction, 
to the public at large, of the secrets of helth, regardless of 
the inroads such instructions must play with the practis 
of the physician himself, testify with indisputabl certainty 
that the broad-minded author of this book is fired by 
other motifs than those of mony-making. 

Dr. White has renderd a nobl servis to the better- 
ment of the human race — fisically, mentally, morally. It 
is no exaggeration to say that in this book — dedicated to 
'Youth' in all its ages — remedies ar introduced that wil hit 
at the cure of almost every human discrepancy. His 
therapy has the scope of thot itself, ranging from the 
simpl, but effectiv remedies of the old herb-doctor, up 
to the latest tuch of the twentieth century's medical dis- 
coveries, sum of which spring from reserches by the 
author himself. Sum of the advices brot before us in 
this encyclopedia of therapeutic facts ar so startling, so 
profound and yet so simpl that we may vizion ourselvs 
under the benign influence of a simbolic Bethesda, vital- 
ized by the spirit of youth into the living waters of helth 
and efficiency. 

In this connection it may be quite apropriate to refer 
to the element of human tuch as an indispensabl factor in 



all true and successful therapy. If a practitioner is not 
gaged by the spirit of simpathy, his treatment, no matter 
what its sientific skil and tecnical accuracy, wil be nothing 
but a juggling with vital values, and his diagnosis an idl 
geswork. On every page of his work, Dr. White has 
made a deep impress of this very element — the fact that 
the interest of the hart is no les important than that of the 
hed, and that feeling is as vital and incisiv as reason — 
facts that explain the vastness and richness of his field, 
embracing not only the kingdom of man but, by his 
forceful argument for the abolishment of vivisection, 
proves to hold within his scope of activ simpathies every 
creature that suffers from the ignorance or brutality of 
misplaced or misdirected professional interests. 

The immense significance of the work of this man is 
redily seen. The smothering spel of authority which 
orthodox medical sience holds over society is in danger, 
by such books, of being broken to fragments. As the 
glaring mistakes and foibls of the medical profession ar 
brot to ful evidence, the reader wil draw a deep breth of 
relief and begin to feel himself abl to take in hand his 
own case. In its overwhelming welth of advices, cover- 
ing every known field of therapy, from helth gimnastics 
and diet to the latest improvements of hydro-thermal- 
light mechanics, solar, herbal, chromatic, vibratory and 
psycho-analytic modes of treatments. 

Dr. White's book opens up with renewd intensity the 
ancient struggl between the new and the old order of 
things ; the new struggling for its right to liv, and the old 
trying to escape a natural deth. It is the perpetual en- 
counter between sientific dogmatism and authoritiv 
despotism, on the one side, and medical freedom, in- 
dividual choice, and mental expense on the other. It is 
Youth contending by the grace of God for. the price of 
professional recognition and right to serv. And it is this 
spirit of moral courage, self-conscious enthusiasm, and a 
vast climbing hope in the final triumf of truth and love 

eight 



which we find pervading this effort of human servis, de- 
dicated to "Youth" with all that can be comprized in the 
five letters of the word, each one marking a point in the 
symbol of the five-pointed star of immortality, giding the 
ernest student on his path of power, rightousness and 
servis. 

So let us manifest our faith and apreciation of the 
author of this good book by trying to liv the life he 
advocates, perpetuating our existence into endevors of 
helthfulness, youthfulness and worthy exampl. 

* * * 

Dr. Gibson's postscript to this "Foreword" is: 
This expresses but a small fraction of what I feel in 
regard to the significance of your work.

- - Where Nature nelps Industry most 



Los Angeles is the largest city west of St. Louis. 
It has a population of about 650,000 and is constantly 
growing. It is known the world over for its beautiful 
residences, deliteful climate, abundance of flowers and 
semi-tropical plants. Above all, from the motorist's stand- 
point, it can boast of having the greatest number of good 
auto-roads in its environments of any city in the world. 

For eastern physicians, the change in cumming to this 
beautiful city is a rare treat; and there is always enuf 
in the city itself, or the surrounding places, to instruct 
and fascinate one when they ar not busy studying. 

As a resort for invalids, Los Angeles is probably as 
good as any other city. The change from the cold east- 
ern winters to the balmy climate of Southern California 
is in itself a boon to the overtired and helth-seeking 
patient. 

These ar a few salient facts to be borne in mind when 
taking a post-graduate course or when referring patients. 

Altho most of my life has been spent in the East in 
or about New York City, yet I hav adopted Los Angeles, 
California, as my home, and in so doing I hav followd 
the exampl of thousands who came, saw and wer conquerd.

SIMPLIFIED SPELLING 

Simplified spelling means, progress. 

The spelling in this book is made to partially conform 
with the 1921 Dictionary of the Simplified Spelling Board, 
4 Emerson Hall, Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., 
and with the rulings of the American Filological Society. 

The Simplified Spelling movement was begun about 
thirteen years ago. 

English spelling abounds in irregularities, inconsist- 
encies, and absurdities. It is so irrational that we ar never 
sure how to spel a new word when we hear it, nor how 
to pronounce a new word when we read it. 

To lern it is a prodigious feat of memory that should 
not be demanded of children, and that impairs the 
development of their reasoning powers. 

To impart it exhausts the nervus energy of teachers. 

Hundreds of millions of hours of scool time ar wasted 
every year in far from successful efforts to lern it and 
to teach it — the cost of which is borne by the taxpayers. 

Millions of dollars in time, mony and material ar 
wasted yearly in riting, type-riting and printing that might 
be saved by dropping silent or misleading letters. 

The difficulties of English spelling greatly hinder the 
Americanization of our foren-born population, and more 
than anything else prevent the use of English as an 
international language. 

The Simplified Spelling Board has as its objects: 

( 1 ) To awaken the American public to a realization 
that reform in spelling is not only necessary but possibl. 

(2) To point the way in which the simplification of 
English spelling can be best brot about. 

(3) To put itself on record as recognizing that the 
ultimate goal of the Simplified Spelling movement is, and 
must truly be, a fonetic alfabet with enuf letters to repre- 
sent at least aproximately each separate sound herd in 
the standard English speech. 

Better spelling, better speech.

THE MAN WHO STICKS 

The man who sticks has his lesson lernd : 
Success doesn't cum by chance — its ernd 
By pounding away; for good hard nocks 
Wil make stepping stones of the stumbling blocks. 

He knows in his hart that he cannot fail ; 
That no il fortune can make him quail 
While his wil is strong and his courage hy, 
For he's always good for another try. 

He doesn't expect by a singl stride 
To jump to the front; he is satisfied 
To do every day his level best, 
And let the future take care of the rest. 

He doesn't believ he's held down by the "boss" — 
It's work, and not favor, that "gets across." 
So his motto is this: "What another man 
Has been abl to handl, I surely can." 

For the man, who sticks has the sense to see 
He can make himself what he wants to be, 
If he'l off with his coat, and pitch right in — 
Why, the man who sticks can't help but win. 



twelv 



THE MAN WHO QUITS 

The man who quits has a brain and hand 

As good as the next; but he lacks the sand 

That would make him stick, with a courage stout, 

To whatever he tackls, and fight it out. 

He starts with a rush, and a solem vow 
That he'l soon be showing the others how; 
Then sumthing new strikes his roving eye, 
And his task is left for "the-sweet-by-and-by." 

It's up to each man what becums of him; 
He must find in himself the grit and vim 
That brings success; he can get the skil 
If he brings to the task a stedfast wil. 

No man is beaten til he givs in; 
Hard luck can't stand for a cheerful grin; 
The man who fails needs a better excuse 
Than the quitter's whining, "What's the use?" 

For the man who quits lets his chances slip, 
Just becaus he's too lazy to keep his grip. 
The man who sticks goes ahed with a shout, 
While the man who quits joins the "down-and-out."

"PEP" 

Vigor, Vitality, Vim and Punch — 
With courage to act on a sudden hunch — 
The nerv to tackl the hardest thing, 
With feet that climb, and hands that cling, 
And a hart that never forgets to sing — 
That's Pep. 

Sand and grit in a concrete base — 
A frendly smile on an honest face — 
The spirit that helps when another's down, 
That knows how to scatter the blackest frown, 
That loves its neibor and loves its town — 
That's Pep. 

To say "I wil" — for yu kno yu can — 
To look for the best in every man — 
To meet each thundering nock-out bio, 
And cum back with a laf, becaus yu kno — 
Yu'l get the best of the whole blame sho — 
That's Pep.

INTRODUCTION 

Ilness is no longer popular. Peopl ar beginning to 
realize that proper eating, proper exercizing and plenty 
of sunlight giv the glo of youth that paints, powder and 
cosmetics can never rival. 

I hope the time is not far distant when our magazines 
wil be fild with articls regarding helth and how to obtain 
it and how to retain it thru natural methods, rather than 
being fild with articls regarding diseas, thus creating fear 
among their readers. 

Fear is the most dredful of all dis-eases. It is a wel 
known fact that if one person dies of sum dredful diseas, 
at least twenty die from fear of it. 

To teach peopl that they ar born and reard in an 
atmosfere loaded with diseas-giving micro-organisms 
that ar liabl to attack them at any time no matter how 
they liv, creates fear and aprehension, which ar two of 
the first barriers to helth. 

Nature never surrounded her children with enemies. 
It is the persons themselvs that make diseas possibl in 
their own bodies. We must all realize that the one inval- 
uabl principl in Nature is caus and effect (Karma), and 
every child should be taut that as soon as it is taut any- 
thing. Such teaching should be enlarged as the child 
matures and then the adult would kno that if he trans- 
grest Nature's laws, he would hav to pay the penalty. 

So-cald "modern sience" appears to be striving to sho 
that Nature is rong, but Nature is never rong, and true 
sience is that which strives to lern where we ar rong 
rather than where Nature is rong. 

Filling a helthy body with diseasd matter to keep it 
wel is so far from the natural way that it should hav no 
place in the minds of intelligent beings. 

Serums, vaccins, or any form of inoculation, or intra- 
venus "medication" (drugging) can never prevent nor 
cure diseas. Hygien and proper living ar the natural 

fifteen 



preventativs of diseas. If perchance sum diseasd organ- 
isms ar put into the blood stream of one who is il and the 
patient recovers from that ilness, an ilness of another kind 
is sure to folio. 

Commercialism is back of all propaganda for the 
spreding of diseas among the peopl and the encouraging 
of the use of vaccins, serums and deth-producing drugs, 
and intra-venus drugging. 

Take all monetary profit out of the manufacture of 
serums, vaccins and intra-venus dopes, and they would 
soon be lost sight of in the public pres and would not be 
used. 

Exercizes, hygien, diet and right thinking ar Nature's 
methods of preventing diseas, but if one has erd and be- 
cums diseasd, the only way back to helth is by the natural 
way — diet, exercize, hygien and right thinking. 

The only hygienic method of living is in the open and 
in the sunlight and it is not Nature's fault if we hav so 
perverted our method of living as to keep our bodies 
from that great helth-giving energy — Light. 

Right living and right thinking wil prevent all dis-eas. 

Right living and right thinking ar the antiddtes for 
all dis-eas. 

A body traind to think rightly and liv rightly is traind 
to ward off diseas. The) sycology of believing that germs 
caus diseas is entirely inimical to helth. If we wer all 
taut that it is our method of living that makes us sick, 
we would all be more particular about the way we liv. 

If the sanitary engineers believd that mosquitos made 
the water stagnant rather than that the stagnant water 
attracted the mosquitos, they would not be draining our 
miasmatic swamps. 

We should all be taut that insted of germs being 
enemies and causing diseas, they ar friends and scav- 
engers attracted by diseas. 

If we eat, dres, and conduct ourselvs in such a manner 
as to load our bodies with diseasd material, we should 

sixteen 



be taut that that material wil injure the body in sum 
manner, and as the soil is so wil the attraction be for 
any specific micro-organism. 

A pupil of Virchow, the German sientist who is credited 
with being one of the fathers of the germ theory, told me 
that Virchow, not long before his deth, told him that wer 
he to liv his life over again, he would devote himself to 
proving that the germ saut its natural soil in diseas 
rather than that it causd diseas. 

Littl by littl sum of our best sientists ar beginning to 
realize that the germ theory is the product of a diseasd 
mind and superstition and kept going by commercialism. 

Wer the germ theory of diseas eradicated from the 
minds of the peopl, all the great industries that ar making 
their millions by the manufacture of "anti-germ wepons" 
would cum to naut. 

In sum of my larger works I giv scores of pages of 
actual, incontrovertibl evidence to prove that vaccins and 
serums hav never prevented nor lessend diseas, but on 
the contrary that in the same ratio as this diseasd and 
filthy matter is injected into the helthy body so is the 
increas of such diseases as cancer and tuberculosis. 

I hav also recorded in sum of my works statistics, 
that no one can deny, to prove that where vaccination 
against smallpox is not used at all there is les smallpox 
than in any place where vaccination is used. Vaccination 
is a result of superstition and commercialism. 

Sanitation is the only factor that has brot down the 
spred of many of the old-time scourges. If sum insane 
"scientist" had "discoverd" a vaccin for sum of these 
scourges, we would be told in our "orthodox" medical 
colleges that they wer the caus of the lessening of such. 

The epidemic of the Spanish influenza (flu) has opend 
the eyes of those who hav livd to tel the tale. Among 
those that wer treated along the lines specified in this 
book les than one-seventeenth of one per cent, died while 

seventeen 



seventeen per cent, died when treated by "orthodox" me- 
thods. It is a pity that a great scourge like this must kil 
so many thousands of peopl to make us realize that 
Nature's laws ar immutabl laws and that there is only 
one way of preventing and curing diseas — the natural 
way. 



PASTEUR'S GERM THEORY A MITH 

Pasteur, the French bacteriologist, who has been given 
so much credit for having discoverd that "germs caus 
diseas" was lauded in the interests of the Research Ad- 
vancement Society of England, an organization which 
exists for the purpose of popularizing experiments on 
animals. 

Pasteur discoverd nothing except that if one get into 
the limelight and hav push enuf back of him, his name can 
be immortalized whether it hav any real value or not. 

Prof. Bechamp (Professor of Medical Chemistry and 
Philosophy, Montpelier) says "M. Pasteur only imitated 
others, slightly modifying their mode of operating and 
thinking; he has not added one singl proof to theirs; and 
where they hesitate, if he does not hesitate — he ers." 

Pasteur rote : "In a state of helth the body of animals 
is shut against the introduction of exterior germs" 

Whereupon Bechamp pointed out that this is proving 
the very contrary of that which Pasteur desired, since 
he, proved that diseas can arize without germs. For, if 
it is only when yu ar il germs wil enter and caus diseas, 
how do yu get il first? 

Pasteur's Germ Theory has no sientific basis upon 
which to rest, and is naturally kept alive by the fashion 
of commercialism. 

The British Medical Journal recently commented as 
folios : "Remedies and modes of treatment, like sistems of 

, eighteen 



filosofy and fashions in dres, hav their littl day and cease 
to be. Back numbers (of the Journal) ar the graveyards 
of ded theories." 

That Pasteurism wil ultimately rest in such a grave- 
yard is certain. 

— W . R. Hadwen, M. D., in the Abolitionist, publisht 
by the British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection, 
London, Eng. 



DON'T FEAR GERMS 

"If I could liv my life over again, I would devote it 
to proving that germs seek their natural habitat — dis- 
ease! tissue — rather than being the caus of the diseasd 
tissue; e. g., mosquitos seek the stagnant water, but do 
not caus the pool to becum stagnant." 

— Rudolf Virchow (one of the "fathers" of the germ 
theory). 

If the germ theory wer founded on facts, there would 
be no living being to read what's rit. 

FEAR is the most dedly of all dis-eases. If a dis-eas 
kils one person, the Fear of that dis-eas wil kil twenty 
persons.

A REASON FOR LIVING 

"If I can liv 

To make sum pale face briter, and giv 

A second luster to sum tear-dimd eye, 

Or e'en impart 

One throb of comfort to an aking hart, 

Or cheer sum wayward soul in passing by; 

If I can lend 

A strong hand to the fallen, or defend 

The right against a singl envius strain, 

My life tho bare 

Perhaps of much that seemeth dear and fair 

To us on erth, wil not hav been in vain." 



twenty 




Longfellow says: "In youth the hart exults and sings/' 
thus carrying the idea that beyond certain prescribed years 
the hart does not exult and sing. YOUTH in its broad 
sense should not refer to years, but to a state of being. 
It really is a matter of one's own selection, if one be 
born normal, when youth shal end and "middl age" begin. 
Sum peopl can be truly referd to as youthful tho they 
hav seen four-score-years-and-ten. 

Every normal person really desires to remain youthful, 
but all do not want to pay the price. The price of 
a prolongd youthfulness is acts. 

These acts ar proper breathing, exercize, hygien, diet, 
and the proper manner of thinking. Without a proper 
body one cannot do proper thinking. Without proper 
thinking one cannot have a proper body. 

The parents ar responsibl for the child's body before 
it is abl to think. Thus it can be seen how important 
it is to hav the child begun rightly. Unless the child's 
parents want the child and hav livd rightly, the child's 
mind and body hav not what is due them from Nature. 
Hence one's responsibility harks back, that its eco may be 
correct. 

twenty-one 



DEEP BREATHING AND EXERCIZES 

The first requisit in all animal life is breathing. A 
strong adult can liv several days without food or drink, 
but he cannot liv five minits without breathing. 

To breathe polluted air can be likend to eating poisond 
food. The sistem wil try to take up what is good, but 
what is bad wil infect it. Therefore it is absolutely 
necessary for one to breathe fresh, pure air, and breathe 
it thru the nose, in order to maintain helth. 

Forst breathing is in many ways detrimental in the same 
manner as lifting a weight much in excess of one's strength 
is detrimental to the musls. In other words, the cultivation 
of correct breathing should be gradual and sistematic. 

A natural child breathes naturally thru the nose 
and needs no tutoring, becaus as it requires air, Nature 
wil teach it how to 1 get air. This aplies to a natural child 
reard in a natural manner, but unfortunately so-cald "civ- 
ilization" denatures humans by dres and conventional 
habits to such an extent that the child soon is an unnatural 
animal, unless the parents ar educated along natural lines 
of living and rear the child with helth and natural 
development as their chief aim. 

Inasmuch as persons seeking helth hav in sum manner 
livd unnaturally, they must lern to liv naturally. 

One must breathe fresh air day and nite, and be out 
of doors as much as possibl. Fresh air means unpolluted 
air, and there is nothing that pollutes air more than 
tobacco smoke or cigaret smoke. I make a distinction 
between tobacco and cigarets, becaus cigarets would 
never be popular if they wer made of tobacco alone. As 
a rule, they ar composed of habit-forming drugs — dopes. 

Fathers and mothers ar sloly poisoning their children, 
if thru ignorance or thotlessness they allow them to 
occupy rooms laden with the fumes of cigarets or tobacco. 

twenty-two 



Fresh air cannot be long maintaind in a closed room 
becaus the exhaled air from the lungs wil pollute it. 
Therefore one must cultivate the habit of having windos 
open both nite and day, and hav their rooms arranged 
so that they can hav fresh air at nite without its blowing 
directly across the bed. If everyone wer taut the import- 
ance of fresh air from childhood, the architects would be 
more particular in designing houses and bildings, and 
would look more to ventilation than they would to 
decoration. 

Never be afraid of "nite air". "Nite air" is just as 
good as "day air". Do not think that air on the ground 
floor of a house is any worse than it is on the upper floor,' 
if ventilation is the same. Cover the body wel at nite and 
breathe outdoor air thru the nose, no matter how cold it is. 

In the morning, as soon as one awakes, they should 
make it a point to giv many deep exhalations — force the 
air out of the lungs. The act of forcing the air out of the 
lungs wil bring about a corresponding reflex that wil make 
one inhale more deeply. 

Exercizing in bed before arizing is of great importance 
becaus exercizing calls for air, the blood requiring more 
oxigen to feed the musls, and deep breathing folios the 
call for more air. 

There ar hundreds of exercizes that one can take before 
arizing, many very complicated and many very simpl, 
but if one hav too many exercizes to do they wil soon do 
none. Therefore I hav made it a rule to select the funda- 
mental exercizes for accomplishing the most good, and 
instruct my patients to religiously adhere to them seven 
days of the week — not to take them spasmodically. 

Fig. 1, shows a person lying on the back, A, with the 
thighs flext on the abdomen redy to kick out, B, kicking 
against a suspended punching bag. This "punching bag" 
can be imaginary, and the patient can kick out as if to hit 
the bag, being careful not to let the heels tuch the bed, 

twenty-three 



These exercizes should be done regularly every morning 
with the hands behind the hed as illustrated. Begin 
with kicking out in this manner one to Hve times, and 




Figure 1 

increas one time every day until the "kicking-out exer- 
cize" can be done from 25 to 100 times without letting 
the heels strike the bed. At first the abdominal musls wil 
be sore, but do not stop for that. Work the soreness off. 
Do not rest it off. 




Figure 2 

Fig. 2. C shows the flexing of the left lim on the 
abdomen. 

D shows the flexing of the right lim on the abdomen. 

This exercize, C and D, is known as the shear exercize 
becaus as one lim rizes the other descends. In doing this 
exercize the heels should not cum in contact with the bed, 
but should cum as near to it as possibl. In other words, 
muscular effort should hold the lims up all the time. This 
shear exercize should be repeated from 5 to 25 or 50 
times every morning, folloing the punching-bag kicking 
exercize. 



twenty-four 



Fig. 3, at E shows both lower lims flext upon the 
abdomen and then allowing them to sloly cum to hori- 
zontal, but not allowing the heels to strike the bed. This 
exercize is known as flexing the lims upon the abdomen, 
and can be repeated from 5 to 25 times or more after the 
preceding exercizes. 




Figure 3 

Fig. 3 at F shows bed covering or sum other weight 
over the feet, and the trunk being flext on the thighs with 
the hands behind the hed. At first this exercize wil seem 
to be almost impossibl, but if one cannot do it at first with 
the hands behind the hed, they can do it by extending the 
hands in front of the body. Then before descending put 
the hands behind the hed and go back sloly. This wil 
gradually cultivate the musls so the trunk can be flext 
on the thighs with the hands behind the hed, and littl by 
littl it can be done without having any weight over the 
feet. This is one of the best exercizes for all stomac 
diseases. 

The exercizes from A to F inclusiv constitute the best 
exercizes I kno of for constipation, stomac diseases, and 
all diseases brot about by relaxation of the digestiv 
and pelvic organs. In fact, if anyone wer to ask me what 
exercizes wer the most important to cultivate deep 
breathing and a strong and helthy digestiv tract, I would 
giv them these exercizes. 

For reducing fat on the abdomen and the sides of the 
thighs, and for cultivating a flat, strong abdomen, these 
exercizes ar all that ar reallv necessary. They ar a gim- 

twenty-five 



nasium in themselvs. They ar producers of "a good 
form." 8 

When doing these exercizes, be sure to hav plenty of 
fresh air in the room, and cultivate inhaling during one 
part of the exercize and exhaling during the other. 

After having done these exercizes when lying flat on 
the back, one can nead the bowels, massage the liver 
region, slap the abdomen and thighs, flex and extend the 
arms, and stretch in any way they desire, only they should 
be persistent in what they do. The exercizes mentiond 
should be taken before any auxiliary exercizes. 

After these exercizes hav been done, take deep 
breths a few times, counting four while inhaling, holding 
the breth while counting eight, and exhaling while count- 
ing eight. This cultivates control of the chest-expanding 
musls. 

In breathing, cultivate the habit of expanding the chest 
first and then letting the incumming air force the diafram 
down and lift the abdomen. In that manner one folios 
out the natural method of breathing the same as wil be 
observd in a natural baby, in the dog, cat, and other 
animals, namely, that the chest and abdomen expand 
almost simultaneusly. 

Abdominal breathing alone is rong 
and chest breathing alone is rong. 
Combining the two is the natural way, 
and if persisted in, wil prevent con- 
stipation as wel as cure it. No one can 
hav asthma if they breathe correctly. 
After arizing, the folloing exercizes 
ar a few that I recommend and no 
one can afford to omit them. 

Fig. 4 at G and H is shown what 
is known as the spiral twist, or eg- 
beater twist. It is the method of rotat- 
lgure ing the trunk on the thighs, the feet 

and hed being mairitaind in the same perpendicular plane. 




twenty-six 



This rotating of the abdomen about the perpendicular 
axis should be done first five times in one direction and 
then five times in the other, and increast as one becums 
expert. 

These exercizes wil giv anybody as wel-formd a waist 
as they may wish. It is a waist-forming exercize and one 




Figure 5 



that ladies in particular should carry out diligently if they 
desire a ''beautiful form."

trunk on the thighs — a lateral 
flexing of the body, the arms being 
held as illustrated. 

Fig. 6, L and M sho the twisting 
of the body, the feet being main- 
taind in the same position. This 
exercize is what Professor War- 
man has so aptly named "the liver 
squeezer." 

Fig. 7, N shows the flexing of 
the trunk on the thighs while in a 
standing position. Figure 7

Fig. 8, P shows the squatting exercize , which is of great 
importance in cultivating strength in the legs and feet 
and joints of the trunk. This exercize should 
be done with the body resting on the toes and 
the eyes directed toward the ceiling, or in other 
words, with the chin up. 

Fig- 9, Q shows the "body dip." It is ex- 
ecuted by lying flat on the abdomen and lifting 
the body upright on the hands, and then letting 
the body cum down again so the abdomen and 
nose hit the floor. This is a very difficult exer- 
cize, but it can be acquired by practis, and it 
ii-iJpLt» is very beneficial in strengthening the abdo- 
p. g minal musls. 

Fig. 10, R and S illustrates the stationary- 
walking exercize. This is a very 
wonderful exercize in develop- 
ing the musls about the pelvis, 
and it is a very efficient exercize 
for remedying constipation or 
weakness in the pelvic organs. 
It is executed by holding the Figure 9 

hands as depicted and then step- 
ping forward with first one foot 
and then the other in rapid suc- 
cession. 

Fig. 11 illustrates the method 
of standing on both feet and riz- 
ing on the toes. In doing this 
standing exercize, be sure the 
thums ar directed backward and 
meet over the spinal colum. 
Fig. 12 illustrates the subject

Fig. 13 shows sum exercizes to be done with the eyes 
closed. These exercizes wil do much to cultivate poise. 
One has no idea how dependent he is 
upon the eyes for keeping the equilib- 
rium until he tries to do sum of these 
exercizes when blindfolded. 

This figure shows the subject with 
the eyes closed standing on his left 
foot with the right foot extended for- 
ward and then backward. This is then 
reverst by standing on 
the right foot and ex- 
tending the left foot

The next is to stand

that I often giv to see if the patient hav 
the faculty of equilibrium.

Fig. 14 shows one of the best all-round exercizes that 
I kno of, and that is walking on-all-fours. This exercize 
should be done with the body naked or with nothing on 
but a pair of trunks. For boys and girls 
and for men and women this exercize is 
of inestimabl value in lifting the abdo- 
minal musls as wel as all the musls of 
the body. For a pregnant woman I kno 
of no exercize that can compare with it. 
In fact, if from the time she is three 
months pregnant she wil take from 100 
to 1,000 steps daily on-all-fours, she can feel sure that 
her delivery wil be quite easy and the child wil be wel 
developt, provided there ar no abnormalities. 

Fig. 15 shows one of the best training exercizes that 
there is, namely, walking a tight rope. The method of 
preparing for this exercize is first to walk on a piece 
of smooth 2" x 4" with the 4-inch side of the beam ele- 
vated about one foot from the ground. Then practis 

with the 2-inch edge up. Then 
repeat the same exercize with the 
timber two, four or six feet from 
the ground so as to acquire confi- 
dence. 

After progressing as far as this, 
practis walking on the edge of a 
1 3^ -inch plank, first about one 
foot from the ground and then two 
feet and so on until it can be walkt 
- on when six feet from the ground. 
(Fig. 16.) 

Then practis walking on the 
edge of a J^-inch board in the 
same manner. When this is accomplisht, start on a 2-inch 
rope made as taut as possibl and about three feet from 
the ground. 

After one can do this wel, then begin to walk on a 




Figure 15 



thirty 



1 J^ -inch rope, 
very taut all the time 




Figure 16 



then on a 1-inch rope, having the rope 

After this has been accomplisht one 

can start walking on a slack 

rope about y 2 inch to J4 i ncn 

in diameter. 

At first this exercize seems 
very strenuous, but it culti- 
vates equilibrium and poise to 
a wonderful degree. A person 
can use a balancing pole or a 
parasol. Probably the balan- 
cing pole is the better. (Figs. 
15 and 16.) 

Fig. 17 illustrates an exer- 
cize or game that I developt 
many years ago. It is exe- 
cuted as folios : 



First mark out a circl three feet in diam- 
eter in which to stand. Then take a hoop 
about twelv inches in diameter and thro it 
up in the air about ten feet. Catch it in the 
opposit hand. Thro it up with the hand in 
which it was caut, and catch it with the other 
hand, and alternate in this manner until one 
can thro it twenty to fifty feet in the air and 
catch it without stepping outside of the three- 
foot circl. 

When one has cultivated the nack of 
throing the hoop upward, they can make a 
littl twist to the hand as the hoop is thrown 
so it wil cum down in a horizontal manner, 
as illustrated in the Figure. Altho this cums 
under the hed of juggling, it is an exercize 
or game that has no peer. It is an exercize 
far better than golf. It puts every musl of 
the body into action and cultivates alertness in a manner 
that nothing except ball juggling can excel. 




Figure 17 



thirty-one 




Figure 18 



After one has thoroly masterd throing up one hoop at 

a time, they can then begin with two, but this cums under 

expert work and not many wil carry the exercize that 

far. The throing of one hoop in the manner depicted and 

keeping track of how many times it can 

be thrown without missing it, or without 

stepping outside of a three-foot circl, 

is where the game cums in. One tries 

to excel another in seeing how many 

times he can thro the hoop without 

letting it reach the ground and without 

stepping outside the circl. 

Fig. 18 illustrates the old familiar 

exercize of jumping the rope. Altho this 

is supposed to be a child's exercize, I 

can say that it is a good one for all. 

Anyone can easily do it, and it is contra- 
indicated only for those who hav hart 
diseas. Altho at first one may be a littl 
clumsy, it takes only a short while 'to 
acquire the agility required. It is one of 
the best exercizes to keep a person yung 
that I kno of. 

Fig. 19 , illustrates bag punching. A 
traind athlete wil notis sumthing peculiar 
about this illustration. That is, the punch- 
ing bag is lifted so high that one has to 
punch upward as wel as forward to exer- 
r>- cize with it. I hav found that this method 
of suspending a punching bag is of great 
benefit in making a person lift his chest 
It is an admirabl exercize for chest development and I 
recommend it for those suffering with asthma or any 
bronchial trubl. I believ the old-fashiond platform is 
better than the new-fashiond ring for the bag to strike 
against. 




Figure 19

Fig. 20 illustrates an exercize that most yung peopl ar 
familiar with, especially if they hav been in any kind of 
fisical training, that is, rope climbing. For this purpose 
a soft rope is preferabl to the hard hemp rope, but any 
kind of rope wil do after a person becums accustomd to 
it. If a person wil practis climbing a rope a few feet 
every day, he wil be surprized to see what it wil do 
toward muscular development and waist shap- 
ing. I recommend rope climbing for girls as 
wel as boys, for yung women as wel as yung 
men, for older women as wel as for older' men. 

All these exercizes should be done where 
there is plenty of fresh air and with as littl 
clothing as possibl on the body. The more the 
body can be exposed to the air during all these 
exercizes, the better. 

It is very wel for one to exercize and thus 
cultivate deep breathing, but it is advizabl to 
kno just how much they hav cultivated the art 
of breathing. For that purpose I kno of 
nothing that can compare with the Spirometer. 
There ar several styles of spirometers on the 
market, the large, cumbersum instrument that 
is attacht to the wall and the large instruments 
on pedestals, but the best of all, and the most 
up-to-date, is the littl instrument that is "bilt 
like a watch to watch your lungs" and is illustrated in 
Figs. 21 and 22. 

This littl instrument is "a western product," devized 
by a westerner seeking for helth, which he found. It 
is manufactured by the Spiro-Meter Co. (Inc.) of Pom- 
ona, California. These peopl ar wel named "helth pro- 
moters/' Probably their littl "lung watcher" is doing 
more to interest peopl in the development of their breath- 
ing than any other instrument. This littl instrument is 
only the size of a watch and can be carrid like a watch, 
attacht to a chain or cord. One can set the hand by the 




Figure 20 



thirty-three 



stem setter, and many times a day watch just how much 
air he can expel from his lungs. Then as I hav said 
before, the reflex causes a greater amount of air to be 
drawn back into the lungs. 

An instrument like this 
creates rivalry with one's 
own self, and a person wil 
try day after day to see how 
much he can improve upon 
the day before. In this man- 
ner one becums interested in 
his chest development. When 
several in the family each 
hav one of these instruments, 
there is a happy rivalry to 
see how much one can gain in 
lung expansion over the 
other. With such an instru- 
ment as this in the pocket, 
one wil cultivate deep 
breathing before he realizes 
it, and by carrying out the 
exercizes as herein depicted 
and described, the deep 
breathing wil be an index to 
the general mus- 
cular develop- 
ment. Hence the 
littl watch-like in- 
strument wil indi- 
cate more than just the exhaled air. It wil 
indicate the general helth and development 
of the body. 

I cannot say enuf in favor of this splendid 
littl instrument. I fel in love with it at first 
sight becaus I hav been using spirometers in 
my treatment rooms for years and hav advized patients

to hav them in their own rooms. It is, indeed, captivat- 
ing in its simplicity, practicability and its far-reaching 
beneficial effects. 



MIS SOPHRONIA'S CURE 

He treated me for mumps, did the blessed Dr. Stumps; 
He treated me for measls when my soul was in the dumps; 
And without a shade of question he improved my indigestion 
Oh ! a therapeutic wonder was the blessed Dr. Stumps ! 

But when my mumps had fled, then I had an aking hed, 

And when my hed was cured I had lung-complaint insted, 

Then he clincht with my bronchitis, then he treated my gastritis — 

And now that blessed doctor — he has left me — he is ded ! 

When he used to cum and say, "Ah, yu hav the chils today!" 

Or, "Yu hav a tuch of fever," I was frolicsum and gay; 

When he told me, "Mis Sophronia, yu ar suffering from neumonia," 

I rejoist with great rejoicing at the words he used to say. 

For he'd sit and simpathize with compassion in his eyes, 
And he'd talk about my simptoms and he'd look superbly wize; 
Then he'd giv me lerned theses on the treatment of diseases, 
And number all the catalogs of all my agonies. 

Now I get no blessed ease that accompanies diseas — 
What is there in life to cheer me? What is there in life to pleas? 
Now I hav no blessed theses on my simtoms and diseases ; 
If I must continue helthy, let me die and find releas.

GENERAL HYGIEN 

Hygien is a helth subject. It sounds helthy and it 
makes one feel helthy to talk about it. The mental picture 
is of Hygeia, the goddess of helth, or sum other refresh- 
ing vizion. On the other hand, diseas is an unhelthy sub- 
ject and the mental picture is of sum sickly cripl, sum 
person sick in bed, or sum other vizion of distress. It is 
not conduciv to helth to hav sum one about who talks 
continually of diseas. 

PERSONAL HYGIEN 
The Hair. 

Whether the hair should be soakt, scrubd, dried and 
combd every day is a question. Many peopl with hevy 
hair comb it daily but do not wet it much. It seems the 
natural way would be to wash it only when necessary to 
clean it and not as a daily practis. 

Natural man, like other animals, had hair all over the 
body. It was not only for a covering, but was an aid 
in skin respiration in the broad sense of the term, and a 
conserver of energy. 

It is a wel-known fact among breeders of horses that 
if a horse is intended for hevy work, it should never hav 
its hair dipt. 

Mental workers ar more often bald than manual 
workers. Sum wil say it is becaus they wear a different 
kind of hat or work under artificial conditions, etc. How- 
ever, I hav seen workmen in factories who had worn hats 
all their life while at work, and a good share of the time 
when in the house, and they had hevy hair. On the other 
hand, I hav seen other classes of workmen who had their 
hats off from the time they enterd the factory until they 
left, and they wer bald. 

Women, as a rule, hav hevy hair. No dout it is 
hereditary, and a result of desire. (See Vibratology.) 
They see their mothers and grandmothers with long, hevy 

thirty-six 



hair and they desire it, and that desire brings about 
action. The act of combing the hair is conduciv to its 
growth. It brings blood and life to the hair roots. It 
directs the mind to the hair. 

Foren women who greas their hair wear wigs. They 
go bareheded nearly all the time, so it is not becaus of 
hat constriction that their hair cums out. It is the fashion 
of greasing the hair to make it shine. 

Women do not wet their hair every day as men do. 
They comb it while dry and do not wash it so often 
becaus of the trubl and annoyance. 

Men who ar temperamental, or whose vocation is of 
a temperamental variety, usually hav thick hair, and it 
is very common for them to allow their hair to gro long. 
They think it goes with their profession. Sum say it is 
becaus these peopl do not wear hats, but I hav seen many 
of them who wore hats and their hair was long. 

I believ the hair should be combd and brusht daily, but 
frequently wetting it is injurius. Using soap on the hair 
to "wash out the oil" only makes more oil cum. 

If the hair is dry, oiling it with a mineral oil is often 
very beneficial. Mineral oil on the body conservs energy 
in the body. (Oiling the skin from hed to foot with min- 
eral oil is of great advantage in case of sickness or hy 
fevers. Sumtimes a dying person can be brot back to life 
by oiling the body with mineral oil. Vegetabl oils would 
hav no such effect, and it is not the massage that does 
the work. It is becaus mineral oil, such as paraffin oil, 
prevents much energy from leaving the body. That is 
why mineral oils ar of so much benefit for burns and raw 
surfaces.) 

I believ hats ar a detriment to the hair and to the hed 
and brain. The hed needs air about it just as much as the 
face. In tropical climates sum wear hats and sum do not. 
I believ the natural covering of the hed wil protect it, and 
the hair was so intended. Had Nature intended us to 
wear a hat, we would hav been born with one. Fresh air 

thirty-seven 



on the hcd is a tonic. If a hat is worn, it should be wel 
ventilated. 

The fashion among scool boys of having the hair gro 
long and hang over the forehed so they hav to keep 
shaking the hed to keep the hair out of the eyes, is abom- 
inabl. Many a boy has acquired a habit tic (involuntary 
motion) in this way. It also makes boys nearsighted, as 
it changes the whole muscular action of the eyes. 

The Ears. 

The outside of the ears should be washt daily with 
a ruf cloth, but water should not be put into the ears. 
The ears should be thoroly dried after being washt. To 
clean out the external canal of the ear, a littl piece of 
cotton twisted on the end of a toothpick or match is best. 

If a person's ears itch inside the canal and they need 
to use a hairpin every few minits, it shows that there is 
sumthing rong with the skin. One of the best treatments 
for that is mineral oil (paraffin oil, vaselin) aplied 
locally. 

If wax accumulate in the ear, mineral oil or vegetabl 
oil wil soften it. Mineral oil is preferabl as it wil not 
becum rancid. 

Never allow a child to poke things into its ears nor to 
dig at the ears. 

Parents should be particular to see that children do 
not wear caps that push the ears forward. It is easy to 
distort the ears but not easy to put them back. 

If a child is born with the ears protruding too much 
they should be held back close to the hed by means of 
adhesiv tape or isinglas plaster for a year or two til they 
remain in the proper position. 

Covering the ears with the hair, as is the abominabl 
fashion at present, is injurius in many ways. If it wer 
continued for a few generations, we would be earless and 
"hearless." 

thirty-eight 



The Nose. 

The nose is an organ of respiration as wel as an organ 
for smelling. It strains the air as wel as warms it when 
one inhales in the act of breathing. 

Picking the nose with the fingers is very bad. It spreds 
the nostrils. Teach the children not to pick the nose 
nor put their fingers into it. Let them put a cloth over 
the finger and rub the inside of the nostril, if necessary, 
but it is better to pinch the nose from the outside. The 
mucus membrane of the nose is very sensitiv and easily 
abraded and many cronic sore noses ar causd by putting 
foren bodies into the nose to clean it. 

If peopl livd more in the open, they would hav very 
littl trubl with the erectil tissue in the nose, but becaus 
they liv part of the time in heated rooms, or in close 
air, or in crowded streets — in an unnatural manner ■ — 
the mucus membrane of the nose becums irritated and 
congested and inflamed. This inflammation goes on until 
the slo cronic inflammatory process known as catar is 
"set up. 

A clensing solution to be used warm in a nasal cup 
can be made in the folloing proportions : 

1 teaspoonful magnesium sulfate (epsom " salts) 

1 teaspoonful borax 

5 drops oil of eucaliptus 

5 drops thymol-menthol solution 

1 pint water 

A solution of a teaspoonful of common salt to a pint 
of warm water can also be 
used, or a teaspoonful of 
epsom salts to a pint of 
water in a douche bag as 
illustrated. 

Fig. 23 illustrates the use 
of a nasal cup. Fig. 24 Figure 23 

illustrates the suction method of cleaning the nose and 

thirty-nine 




sinuses. The fountain should be about on a level with 
the nose. The outlet tube draws the mucus out. 

The water for all nasal douches or 
washes should always be lukewarm 
when used. 

A nebulizer (Fig. 25) is often used to 
coat the membrane of the nose with; oil. 

For a cold in the hed, inhaling 
medicated steam thru a vaporizer is 
beneficial. (A steam vaporizer, Fig. 
26, can be bot at any large drug store.) 




Figure 24 



The Eye. 

Altho the eye is one of the most 
important organs of the body, it is 
very much neglected. Not every one 
needs glasses, but if anyone hav trubl 
FP with the eyes, he should consult a good 
refractionist. 

The stomac has more to do with the 

condition of the eyes than most 

refractionists think. 

The eyes of many children ar ruind by the light in 

which they study at scool and the position of the desk. 

A side light should be employd, as a light 

from the rear causes a shado. 

One should lern to exercize their eyes just 
as much as their arms, legs, back, 
neck, etc. In Fig. 27 is shown a 
& method for training the eyes, which 
often makes it unnecessary for 
patients to wear glasses. In every 
exercize the eyes cum back to rest. 

Niether diet nor exercize wil hav any effect 
upon astigmatism, but they greatly affect the 
muscular balance. 

Each of these exercizes should be done very sloly and 
repeated at least ten times nite and morning.

At the lower part of the figure, at X, is shown a method 
of training the musls of the eyes. Hold a pencil at arm's 
length, focus the eyes on it and 
bring the pencil close to the nose 
until it looks dubl. Then immed- 
iately repeat the maneuver. If one 
does this regularly, it wil not be 
long before the eyes can be focust 
at any point and held there after 
the object is removed. This eye 
exercize is of great importance in 
cultivating sum of the eye musls. 

The musls of the eye can be 
greatly strengthend by looking at 
pictures thru a stereoscope. It is 
Hie best way of looking at a picture. ' Figure 27 

Stereoscopic pictures, specially made for training the eye 
musls, can be obtaind from any good optician. 

Prism exercizes, under the care of a competent instruc- 
tor, ar of inestimabl value for cultivating all the musls of 
the eye. 

For washing out the eyes whenever they hav dust in 
them, or when they ar inflamed, a saturated watery sol- 
ution of boracic acid is the best. Avoid the varius "drops" 
that ar advertized in the newspapers. 

The wearing of veils is ruinus to the eyesight. 

Mouth. 

The lips should not be pickt nor bitten as sores ar 
causd thereby. For "coldsores", use spirits of camfor. 
Such sores ar causd by a reflex action from another 
part of the body. Where there ar cracks, use tincture 
of myrrh or tincture of benzoin. For chapt lips camfor 
ice is very good, or plain vaselin. Vaselin is a mineral 
oil and is infinitly better than mutton tallo. 

An antiseptic wash for the mouth and throat is made 
by putting about a teaspoonful of good hydrogen peroxid 

forty-one 



in a half glas of water. This should be followd by a 
saline wash of one-quarter teaspoonful salt to a half glas 
of water, or one-quarter teaspoonful sodium bicarbonate 
to a glas of water. 

Chinosol makes one of the very best mouth and cavity 
washes. 

A saturated solution of boracic acid is also very efficient 
as a mouth wash and gargl. 

In fever conditions, or where the mouth is in bad 
condition from diseases of the digestiv tract, unsweetend 
juice from lemons, limes, grapefruit or pineapl is often 
very efficient as a gargl or mouth wash. 

Diseasd crypts in the tonsils, should be opend by a 
physician with a suitabl nife and painted over with a ,25% 
solution of silver nitrate, after they hav been thoroly 
cleand with alcohol locally aplied. In using hydrogen 
peroxid for a gargl, the pus pockets in the tonsils must 
first be opend, as the distension of the pocket by the 
gas is liabl to make the condition worse. 

A diseasd crypt in the tonsils does not call for the 
removal of the gland any more than a sore toe calls for 
the removal of the leg. 

The Teeth. 

The teeth ar of the utmost importance in digestion 
and it is a pernicious practis to hav the teeth extracted 
for all sorts of ils. If the teeth ar in good condition, 
there is no more need of having them overhauld than 
to hav any other part of the body overhauld. Many 
times the scraping of the teeth with sharp instruments 
is the caus of tooth trubl. 

The teeth should be cleand at least twice every day 
(after each meal is better) with a brush that has been 
dried since the previus use, so the bristls wil be stif and 
firm when they ar put into the cleaning solution. 

Rubbing the teeth with the inside of a lemon peel or 
with diluted lemon juice is very beneficial. The acid rubd 

forty-two 



on the gums and teeth wil remove more of the adhering 
film than anything else. Sum think that fruit-acid wil ruin 
the teeth, but it is an acid condition in the sistem, result- 
ing from the fermentation of sugars and starches, that 
causes trubl, and not fruit-acid. Fruit acids ar natural 
for the teeth and ar beneficial to them. 

Brush the teeth with a stif brush that has been dried 
since previus use. Thro the hed slightly backward and 
brush briskly all the surfaces of the teeth. In brushing 
from the gums toward the crowns of the teeth, use a 
rotary motion to clean the spaces between the teeth. Also 
brush gently the gums and roof of the mouth. 

The diet has everything to do with the teeth. If a 
person eats unbalanst rations, the elements that make up 
the teeth ar not right, and the consequence is chalky teeth 
or sensitiv teeth, or pyorrea alveolaris. 

The eating of raw food that has to be chewd has a 
very beneficial effect upon the teeth. 

Pyorrea Alveolaris is more prevalent than is generally 
supposed. When this condition is suspected, a dentist 
should not only clean tartar off the vizibl portion of the 
tooth, but he should go belo the surface of the gum. As 
a rule, there ar alveolar pus pockets causing this 
condition. 

Cleaning the teeth with an iodin preparation is very 
efficient in this trubl. As a tooth cleaner, the folloing is 
good. 

Iodin cristals 1 gram 

Potassium Iodid 3 grams 
Glycerin 30 grams 

This solution can be used once or twice a day on a 
stick and workt in under the gums. One of the best 
remedies for pyorrea alveolaris is iodin in some form. 
Painting the affected area, after it has been thoroly 
cleand, with a tincture of iodin (keeping it away from any 
other part of the mouth by cotton pledgets) is very effi- 
cient, but it should not be used oftener than twice a week. 

forty-three 



Another simpl and effectiv means of treating pyorrea 
alveolaris is by means of kerosene oil (coal oil). The 
formula is 20 drops oil of verbena to one ounce kerosene. 
This should be painted with a swab over the tooth and 
workt wel around the roots of the tooth with a toothpick. 
This wil kil the bacteria as wel as act as a stimulant to 
the affected area. The oil of verbena disguises the taste 
of the kerosene. One or two drops of oil of cloves to the 
ounce of kerosene disguises the taste sufficiently. This 
kerosene preparation can be used thru an atomizer so 
arranged as to drive the oil wel down around the gums. 
Pyorrea alveolaris wil return unless the diet be regulated. 
Lemons ar the best preventativ and cure for pyorrea 
alveolaris. 



Lemon-Juice Hygien for Mouth and Teeth. 

In the morning on arizing, take a fresh lemon and cut 
in two (Fig. 28). Squeeze the juice of 
half the lemon into a four to six-ounce 
glas of water, Fig 29 (never ice water). 
Drink and gargl the throat so as to get the 





Figure 29 

solution on all parts of the mouth and 
throat. Squeeze the other half into 
another glas of water and drink it. 
Take one of the half lemon peels and 
place in it a teaspoonful of cool or warm water. Take 
a toothbrush and work it up wel in the pulp of the lemon 



Figure 28

Figure 30 



peel (Fig. 28). Use this to brush the teeth with. Brush 
them wel, moving the brush upward and downward as wel 
as croswize. Be thoro with this clensing and do not be 
afraid to get a littl lemon juice on the teeth. 

Then take hold of the tung with a cloth in the fingers, 
and with the other hand rub the pulp side of the lemon 
peel on the upper side of the tung, reaching back as far 
as possibl. Rub or scrape the tung vigor- 
usly, pulling it out as far as possibl 
(Fig. 30). 

The lemon juice in the water has a 
very beneficial effect upon the stomac and 
bowels if taken immediately upon arizing. 
It is one of the greatest aids for over- 
cumming constipation. 

Brushing the teeth with water workt 
up in the pulp of the lemon peel is the 
remedy par excellence for preventing and 
curing all forms of pyorrea alveolaris. 
Loose teeth wil begin to tighten, the slippery or scummy 
feeling on the teeth wil soon disappear, and the teeth 
wil becum whiter. 

Drawing the rung out as far as possibl is one of the 
best remedies for constipation, and wil often stop pains 
in the stomac, bowels, or pelvis. 

Thoroly scraping the tung with freshly cut lemon peel 
removes the "fur" that often collects on the tung of a 
catarral person, and enuf of the elements from the pulp 
ar carrid back into the mouth to hav a very plesant 
effect upon it. If one has a bad taste in the mouth, this 
procedure wil rectify the condition. 

After using a lemon as above described for two or 
three weeks, a person wil begin to see a decided change 
for the better in his mouth, stomac and bowels. 

For brushing the teeth after meals, any good tooth 
powder, tooth paste, or plain water wil do. The object 
is to remove the particls of food. Many use the pulp 



forty-five 



of a lemon several times a day after they hav becum 
accustomd to it, becaus of the plesant feeling and taste. 

For cleaning between the teeth, probably dental flos 
is the best. 

In having teeth fild, try to avoid mercury becaus it 
often has a deleterius effect upon the sistem. Sum cases 
of salivation hav been causd by mercury fillings. 

Do not hav different kinds of metal in contact in the 
teeth. Sum often complain of a peculiar taste in the 
mouth that can be traced to a galvanic action of two 
different kinds of metal in the filling of the teeth. Sum 
cases of "facial neuralgia" ar causd by this galvanic 
action. 

Keep your own teeth as long as possibl. They ar 
superior to artificial ones. Don't trust x-ray pictures 
of the teeth and gums too much. They ar more often rong 
than right. 

The Tonsils. 

The hygien for the tonsils is good, commonsense diet. 
The excessiv eating of sugar and starches is without dout 
the caus of enlarged tonsils and adenoids. I hav never 
seen persons with enlarged or diseasd tonsils or with 
adenoids if they breathd thru the nose and ate proper 
food in a proper manner. 

Gargling the throat every morning with lemon-juice 
water helps to keep the throat in good condition. If one 
has a sore throat, a gargl to be recommended is a tea- 
spoonful of hydrogen peroxid to two teaspoonfuls of 
water. A better one is pineapl juice clear or diluted. 
Pineapl juice has a very beneficial effect upon the teeth, 
tung and mouth. 

Occasionally tonsils ar so diseasd that they ar a menace 
to their owner, but these conditions ar very rare in com- 
parison to the tonsils that ar good. During over thirty 
years' observation, I hav had to advize the removal of 
only three pairs of tonsils.

The Face. 

Using soap on the face is to be condemd. Washing 
the oil out of the pores of the skin by means of soap 
makes them all the more activ. For keeping the pores of 
the skin wel clensd, use a ruf washcloth and warm water 
and finish with cool water. Then the pulp of a lemon, 
after the juice has been extracted, can be rubd on the 
face, and after that the outside or yello part of the peel 
can be used to massage the face. This is better than any 
cosmetic. Corn meal wet with water and. lemon juice is 
excellent for the face. 

Using powder or paint on the face belongs to the 
savages. Massaging the face in such a manner as to lift 
the musls wil help to take out "the lines" and prevent their 
forming. 

No one would hav "pimpls" if they ate and livd 
correctly. Therefore the remedy is to liv and eat rightly. 

A person with a bad stomac wil hav certain lines on 
his face that no massaging can remove. The stomac 
condition must be remedid before the lines disappear. 

A happy disposition creates sunny lines on the face. 
A sunny face is captivating, while a gloomy face is re- 
pelling. 

The Neck. 

Women should be complimented for the sensibl way 
in which they undvts their necks. If men wer as sensibl, 
they would be more helthy. 

Sum cases of hart trubl ar causd by 
hy, stif collars — "fences." Soft col- 
lars ar the only collars to be recom- 
mended. The sport-shirt collar is the 
best, as it givs plenty of ventilation to 
the neck and throat and allows free 
movement to the neck. A necktie is no ~~ LOW "sport 

more needed than a bracelet (Fig. 31) Figure 31 

Fig. 32 illustrates a method of cultivating the throat.

the thums meeting each other at the back. This throws 
the sholders backward. The mouth is closed and the 
musls relaxt. 

At B is shown the mouth 
opend under stres, that is, 
with power exerted as if the 
chin wer displacing a hevy 
weight. 

These exercizes should be 
repeated at least twenty times 
every nite and morning, but 
always when the person is alone. 

Never do any neck, face, or eye exercizes in the 
presence of others, or in a careless manner. 
One can very redily acquire a habit tic by not 
observing this rule. 

This exercize of forcibly opening the jaw 
by tensing throat musls not only develops the 
throat for singing, speaking, or enunciation, 
but has a very markt effect upon the external 
development of the throat. It is the exercize 
par excellence for reducing the prominence of 
the "Adam's apl,' or a dubl chin. 
Many cases of "sore throat" 



or inactiv 
tonsils, deranged salivary glands, or inactiv or 
diseasd limfatic glands about the neck and 
throat, can be greatly improved, if not cured, 
by folloing out these exercizes diligently, espec- 
ially if they be used in connection with the 
J) |L~3 exercizes illustrated in Fig. 33. 

These exercizes in Fig. 33 I consider of more 
T importance than any other exercize that I can

goiter, I can say without hesitation that these neck exer- 
cizes wil do more toward a permanet cure than all the 
drugs or remedies known. 

Becaus of the importance of these exercizes, examin 
Fig. 33 carefully. At the top is shown a person standing 
with the heels together and the thums meeting each other 
in the center of the back. This causes the sholders to be 
in good form. With the hed at rest (looking strait ahed) , 
begin a slo movement of the hed backward, that is, extend 
it. Let this extension be a forst extension, that is, an 
extension under stres, bending the hed as far backward as 
possibl — or at least so that the eyes ar directed toward 
the ceiling. Then let the hed cum forward relaxt until 
it is again at rest. Repeat these exercizes from ten to 
twenty times. 

Neyer do this neck exercize or any other exercize by 
jerks. Let every movement be mesured, and hav in mind 
the particular exercize and the object of its execution. 

The next neck exercize is to begin with the hed at rest 
and flex it under stres, that is, bring the hed downward 
until the chin cums wel in contact with the brest bone. 
Do this with the same force as if a band wer around the 
forehed with a rope and pully back of it and a hevy 
weight on the rope. In other words, do all these neck 
exercizes as if yu wer trying to displace sum hevy weight 
every time yu wer putting the musls under stres. 

Repeat this neck-flexing exercize from ten to twenty 
times, doing the exercize very sloly. 

The third neck exercize is to begin with the hed at rest 
and flex the neck to the right under stres as far as yu can. 
Then bring it back relaxt to a state of rest. Repeat this 
exercize from ten to twenty times, doing it very sloly. 

The fourth in the neck-exercize series is to begin with 
the hed at rest and flex it to the left under stres, bringing 
the hed over as far as possibl. Then bring it back relaxt 
to the state of rest. Repeat this exercize from ten to 
twenty times, executing the exercize very sloly.

The fifth or last of the series of n@ck exercizes is to 
rotate the hed on the neck. This is done as outlined, by 
blending each of the above exercizes into one. This rota- 
tion of the hed on the neck should be executed at least ten 
times nite and morning. 

The Chest can be developt to almost any proportions 
that a person desires. I hav seen persons with a very flat 
chest develop it until it was really too large in proportion 
to the rest of the body. 

One of the best methods 
of developing the chest is 
deep breathing. Very few 
peopl kno how to breathe. 
They outgro their natural 
method of breathing, either 
on account of the dres or 
by rong cultivation when 
they ar children. 

The proper method of 
breathing is to first inflate 
the chest, and when that is 
ful the diafram wil be 
pusht downward, and the 
abdomen wil rize. This 
method of breathing, after 
a littl time, wil becum so 
natural that the chest and 
abdomen wil expand at 
about the same time, altho 
the first expansion in respir- 
ation wil be in the chest. 
This diafragmatic method of breathing not only expands 
the chest, thereby giving the lungs and chest a chance to 
inflate, but it also exercizes the diafram, which in turn 
exercizes the liver, stomac, pancreas, spleen, intestins, 
kidnys and pelvic organs. 

Proper deep abdominal breathing as above outlined is 




fifty 




one of the best procedures for reducing surplus fat about 
the abdomen. 

As previusly mentiond, the use of the Pulmo 'Spirom- 
eter is of inestimabl value in the development of the chest. 
Fig. 34 shows a unique method of 
developing the chest (and back) and lifting 
the sholders. Pas a thred thru a cork and 
fasten as illustrated. With toes and nose 
against the wall, push cork up as far as 
possibl. Use first one arm and then the 
other. Try to reach farther each day. 

Fig. 35 illustrates an admirabl method of 
cultivating the chest so as to lift it as wel 
as the sholders. 

The method of procedure is to stand with 
the hed and heels against the wall and lift 
the extended arms so the back of the hands 
strike the same wall that the heels and hed 
ar against. 

It is wel to take a deep breth while 
raising the arms, and exhale sloly while 
lowering the arms. 

This exercize can be used advantageusly 
several minits every nite and morning. 
Fig. 36 shows a pernicius method of 
holding up the trousers. If a lady girds herself about 
the waist, the same remarks aply. Rather 
than wear long suspenders, many men wear 
a tight belt around the waist just above the 
pelvic bones. I hav seen men with extreme 
abdominal tosis (falling of the abdomen), 
cronic bladder trubl, prostatic trubl, consti- 
pation, etc., as a direct result of wearing a 
tight belt for holding up the trousers. 

If a person does not want to wear outside 
suspenders, he can becum accustomd to wear- 
ing inside suspenders. They ar worn under Figure 36 




Figure 35 




fifty-one 




the outer shirt and over the undershirt. Holding the 
clothes up by a tight belt is a practis that should be 
abandond by both men and women. 

Fig. 37 shows the proper method of supporting the 
socks. To the left of the figure is shown a small safety 
pin fastening the top of the socks to the bottom of the 
long drawer leg. When a person wears the short drawers, 
a tape can be attacht to the bottom 
of the drawer leg and pind with a 
safety pin to the top of the socks. 
This method of holding up the socks 
is hygienic and comfortabl. There is 
no garter made to go around the leg 
to hold the sock up but that wil con- 
strict the blood suply. I hav often 
treated men for varicose veins about 
the ankls and lower leg that wer 
causd by wearing garters. 
There ar many garters advertized for supporting the 
socks garanteed to "not constrict the leg." Such a hose 
supporter has never been made and never can be made, 
becaus if it does not constrict the leg it cannot support. 
Ladies should not wear garters that constrict the leg 
as they caus varicose veins. Any ingenius lady can find 
a way of holding her hose up without constricting the lim. 
Men's drawers which ar only nee length ar only that 
much sanitary. Abreviate the drawer legs and yu abre- 
viate the clenliness of the dres. The manufacturers made 
the legs short to save material, and men "fel for it." Pant 
legs ar seldom washt, but drawers ar more liabl to be 
kept clean.

The Feet. 

It is just as important that socks and stockings be made 
with a wide toe, as for a shoe to be made with a wide 
toe. A firmly made sock that constricts the foot, espec- 
ially the toes, wil caus the toes to becum misshapen. I 



fifty-two 



hav often seen children whose feet had been "Chinesed" 
in tight socks. 

The proper shoe to wear is one that is strait inside and 
has no heel, or else has a heel that does not elevate the 
foot any higher than the sole of the shoe. The wearing 
of high heels can be clast in the practis of self-mutilation. 
Running ornaments thru the nose, ears, lips, or distorting 
the face by branding it, is no worse than ruining the body 
by wearing the abominabl, heathenish shoes that sum 
women wear. 

In the first place the high heel makes persons walk on 
their toes and causes them to keep tense many of the 
musls of their hips that should be relaxt. Littl by littl 
the pelvic bones ar thrown out of alinement, and the 
pelvic organs ar misplaced, and invalidism is sooner or 
later the result of wearing high, pointed heels. 

Nature strives to take up the slack, and if a person 
walks on their toes by elevating the heels, the gastrocne- 
mius and other musls at the back of the leg slowly atrofy, 
and there is a shortening of the calf musls. This is a 
deformity that causes no end of trubl. A person thus 
afflicted cannot walk comfortably barefoot or with lo- 
heeld shoes becaus it makes the legs ake so. The reason 
for the aking is that the shortend calf musls are put under 
tension. To cure this condition, one must wear sandals or 
go barefoot, or wear gradually lowerd heels until they 
wear none at all. 

If Nature had intended man or woman to hav hy 
heels, we would hav been born that way, but imagin how 
sad a mother would be to see her baby cum into the world 
with heels projecting two or three inches belo the sole of 
the foot. She would say that Nature had been unkind to 
her and the child. Yet that same mother wil wear shoes 
that ar distorting her anatomy, and she wil allow her littl 
girl to wear shoes that distort the feet and make a cripl 
of her. 

fifty-three 



If women would think and be independent, there would 
be no caus for such a state of affairs. The manufacturers 
of shoes wil make any kind of shoes that there is a 
demand for. If there wer no demand for these heathen- 
ish shoes, they would not be made. One of the largest 
shoe dealers in the world has bilt up his reputation by 
selling nothing but commonsense shoes. He wil not handl 
what he calls a tooth-pick-heel shoe. He sends shoes all 
over the United States and to foren cuntries becaus sensibl 
peopl want to wear a sensibl shoe. Sum of the most 
sensibl women I hav met — women with brains — wear 
sandals. They giv ventilation to the foot and allow the 
sole of the foot to be on a level with the heel.

38 shows the footprints of a person who walks 
naturally. When I was a boy I was 
taut that the proper way to walk was 
to turn the toes out. My parents had d 
not been observers of Nature and did \ 
not kno that a natural baby walks Figure 
with the toes pointed strait ahed. I 38 
would much rather a child walk 
pigeon-toed than walk with the toes 
turnd, outward. When the toes ar 
turnd outward, the weight of the body 
is thrown inward and makes the foot 
rotate inward. This is the caus of 
falling arches, known as "flat foot." 
A person who walks with his toes 
pointed strait ahed or pointing a littl 
inward cannot becum flatfooted. The 
arch wil not fall. So teach the child- 
ren and everyone else to cultivate the 
habit of walking with the toes point- 
ing strait ahed, which is the natural 



Figure 39 



way. 



Fig. 39 illustrates sum foot and ankl exercizes that ar 
of the utmost importance to everyone. These exercizes 



fifty-four 



wil do more to keep a person's ankls and feet fit than 
any others. 

The same plan is carrid out as for the eye and neck 
exercizes. To begin with, the foot is at rest as shown in 
Fig. 39. It is then next under stres and brot back to rest 
relaxt. This flexion of the foot is repeated from ten to 
twenty times, each motion being carrid out sloly. 

The next is to extend the foot, beginning first at rest 
and then extending it under stres, then allowing it to cum 
back to rest. 

The next is to rotate the foot to the right, beginning at 
rest, rotating it under stres, then bringing it back to 
rest. 

The next is to rotate the foot to the left, beginning at 
rest, rotating it under stres to the left, and then allowing 
it to cum back to rest. 

Each one of these exercizes should be executed 
from ten to twenty times, having the mind wel fixt 
upon just what the exercize is for and just what yu 
want to do. 

Fig. 40 shows the circular or rotary exercize of 
the foot. It is a blending of the four exercizes given 
above. 

These exercizes, if carrid out correctly from ten to 
twenty times every nite and morning, wil 
keep the feet and ankls supl and in good 
condition, provided the foot has the 
proper kind of covering, and the proper 
method of walking is maintaind.

Sitting Attitude. 

The correct manner of sitting is of the 
utmost importance for everyone. The 
habit of slumping when sitting is unfor- 
tunately very general. This slumping or 
relaxt condition (Fig. 41) in sitting throws the abdomen 
downward and outward, and the chest forward, thereby 




Figure 41 



fifty-five 





Figure 42 



contracting the chest and producing relaxation 
of the abdominal musls with the concomitant totic 
(relaxt) condition of the viscera. 
Many cases of uterin misplacement 
or prostatic congestion ar causd by 
this incorrect method of sitting. 

Fig. 42 shows the correct 
method of sitting. It wil be notist 
that the sholders ar thrown back- 
ward and the "pelvic bones" ar 
pusht against the back of the chair. 
Most of the rong positions in 
sitting ar causd by the rong 
construction of chairs. The old- 
fashiond chair, which is illustrated in Fig. 43, 
makes it almost imperativ for a person to sit 
correctly. 

(The chair here depicted is an accurate 
drawing of one that has been in my family 
for over a hundred years. Notis how the 
seat is constructed to force the buttocks back- 
ward against the back of the "beautifully 
strait" back. Fig. 43.) 

At first it wil tire one to sit in the correct 
position, but after they becum accustomd to 
it, it wil tire them les. than to sit in a slump- 
ing or incorrect position. 

Sitting with the legs crost is another bad 
habit. It not only impedes the cir- 
culation, but changes the position 
of the pelvic bones in relation to 
the spinal colum. 

Sitting on one foot is a very 
bad practis. It is not only ungainly 
but it is a very unhelthy position. 

Sleeping. 
Figure 43 Sleeping is a state of repose or 



fifty-six 



quiescence occurring particularly in man and animals, 
caracterized by complete or partial unconsciousness, 
relaxt condition of body, and general diminution of vital 
functions. 

All life requires sleep. In humans more or les sleep 
is required every twenty-four hours. 

The more deeply any animal sleeps, the les energy is 
dissipated. 

Light appears to influence rest or sleep to a great 
extent. Therefore one should sleep in a dark room. 

Noise also affects sleep. Therefore one should sleep 
in as quiet surroundings as possibl. No one can rest m 
the same way, whether accustomd to it or not, where there 
is violent vibration 
(noise) about them. 

Another condition 
that influences sleep is 
the magnetic forces of 
the erth, whether we see^d 
them, hear them, or feel 
them. Many peopl can 
sleep better grounded 
(passing a wire thru the 
bed either under the sheet, Fig. 44, or in contact with the 
body. This wire should be attacht to sum grounded metal 
such as gas pipe, water pipe or steam pipe). Sum hyper- 
sensitiv peopl can be cured of sleeplessness by this simpl 
procedure. This is not imagination and in sum of my 
other works I giv proofs to sho that it is of great 
importance with many peopl. 

The magnetic energies hav other influences upon sleep, 
as is shown by the effect direction has upon sum persons 
while sleeping. As a rule, my advice is to hav a person 
with a lo blood pressure sleep with the hed to the north 
or south, while one with a hy blood pressure should 
sleep with the hed to the east or west. 




Figure 44 



fifty-seven 



It is a very bad habit for a person to sleep lying on 
the back. For anyone who is liabl to sleep on the back 
I would advize the use of a spool or piece of wood 

fastend to a band and worn around 
the waist (Fig. 45). Such a device 
wil either awaken the person or 
make them turn over uncon- 
sciously, and wil soon break them 
of the habit. 

Cultivate the habit of sleeping 
without a pillo. Many times the 
pillo is the caus of varius func- 
tional diseases. The hed wil often 
roll to one side of a pillo and thus 
strain the neck thereby setting up 
reflex vibrations that wil affect the 
hart, stomac, bowels or any organ 
of the body. If one really needs a 
Figure 45 "pillo," the long "pillo," or bolster, 

is the one to use. There is not much danger of rolling off 
a bolster. Probably sleeping on the abdomen is the most 
natural method, but all cannot do that becaus of habit or 
the shape of the body. Lying on the right side is pref erabl 
to lying on the left side. 

Whether persons should sleep together is a mooted 
question. No dout it is better for children to sleep by 
themselvs. As to adults, it depends upon the tempera- 
ment. Sum can sleep better with another while others 
cannot. This subject is taken up quite extensivly in sum 
of my other works.

DIETETICS 

A sage once said, in substance, that if he knew what 
a man ate he could tel what manner of man he was. I 
would go a littl- further and say, tel me what a man eats 
and how he eats it and I wil tel what manner of man he is. 
It is often not so much what a person eats as how he eats 
and his mental attitude while he is eating. These ar of 
great importance. 

The tendency to abuse the good things of life seems 
to be inherent in man. Often what wil be a blessing when 
used with discretion becums a menace to helth when used 
to excess. 

"Every creature that eats raw flesh is on the down 
grade." 

"In Nature's boiling caldron, sheep held their own 
alone and unassisted amid the turbulence of savage 
nature." 

Dietetics is a subject that everyone should kno. No 
one livs without eating. The trubl seems to be that the 
more peopl read regarding dietetics, the les they kno 
about it. 

The subject is so complicated and so drawn out in 
the majority of textbooks that when a person has finisht 
reading them he throws up his hands and says: "It is 
all bosh." 

We must forget that there is any such fool notation 
as the "calorie" for food. Forget about vitamins and 
everything else along that line, and get right down to 
ordinary horse sense. 

We must forget all about what test tubes sho and 
what test meals of all kinds indicate, and what experi- 
ments upon animals illustrate. 

The sooner we realize that we ar dealing with a human 
individual, the sooner we wil understand natural dietetics 
as aplied to humans.

The temperament of a person has 99 per cent, to do 
with the action of the stomac. 

Stuffing persons to make them fat is ignorance. It has 
wel been said that more peopl dig their graves with their 
teeth than die from famin. 

In general, my advice to every patient is to lean toward 
a raw vegetabl diet — raw vegetabls, fruits and nuts. 

As a rule, an over-nourisht person requires fruits while 
a nervus person requires vegetabls and herbs. 

Do not wonder whether this or that wil agree. Forget 
about that while eating. If in dout, do not eat what yu 
wonder about. 

Do not try to figure out how many calories this or that 
contains. A hundred calories for one person might not be 

one calorie for another. Re- 
member that calories mean the 
amount of heat generated by 
burning a certain amount of 
material. Dynamite is very high 
in calories. 

Altho bred is known as the 
staf of life, it is more often a 
club (Fig. 46). 

If one be grouchy and out of 
sorts, he should not eat. Food 
to the angry person is a poison. 
Never be afraid to make a 
clown of yourself at the tabl. 
Jest and mirth at meal time ar 
better than the best physicians' 
prescriptions. 

Eat when in a happy mood. 
If the happy mood cannot be 
found, do not eat. 
Do not try to read the news or anything else and eat. 
It is a fool's method of "saving time."

Appetite and hunger ar two very different conditions. 
When one is hungry, he can relish a crust of bred, but 
if he has simply an appetite he wil refuse it. 

I hav no faith in the laboratory findings regarding 
food. Test-tube digestion is not stomac digestion, and 
altho the chemist may tel us that such and such foods 
contain such and such properties, yet these properties may 
not be developt in your stomac or in mine. 

We all kno that food which wil agree with one person 
suffering with a certain complaint, wil make another 
suffering with the same complaint il. It is for that reason 
that dietetics can never be an exact sience. We hav to deal 
with the person, and no two persons ar alike. 

Mix common sense of a good quality with your diet list. 
In most diet lists that is omitted. 

Man is the only animal that eats by the clock, eats 
when he is sick, and drinks when he is not thirsty. Every 
other animal, on the contrary, eats only when hungry, 
drinks only when thirsty, and never eats when it is sick 
— that is the way we kno it is sick. 

There ar different theories regarding the time of eating. 
I think each one must arrange this according to his occu- 
pation. Personally I think it is better to eat a littl several 
times a day than to eat one or two enormus. meals a day. 

Sum say we should eat at specified times. Inasmuch as 
no other animal eats that way, I do not lay much stres 
upon it. 

"Nibling" all day indicates an inflamed stomac — dis- 
pepsia. As a rule, a "nibbler" wil eat two or three 
large meals in addition to the nibling. Eating a small 
amount several times a day is better than engorging at 
regular intervals. 

In short: 

Do not mistake appetite for hunger. 

Do not eat unless yu ar hungry. 

Do not eat when yu ar il or feeling out of sorts. 

sixty-one 



Do not eat more than enuf to satisfy your hunger. 

Do not eat rapidly, for if yu do, you cannot tel whether 
yu hav eaten enuf or too much. 

Do not forget that every mouthful of food in excess of 
your requirements acts as a poison to the sistem. 

Do not eat acid fruits with starches or unnatural 
sweets. 

Do not eat a great variety of foods at one meal — the 
nearer yu *can get to one clas of food at a meal, the 
better. 

Do not wash your food down. Eat it as nearly dry 
as possibl. 

Do not forget that the first act of digestion is putting 
the food into the mouth, and the next is thoroly 
masticating it. 

Do not forget that time spent in chewing food is time 
wel spent. 

Do not eat any food that yu do not like. As yu 
improve in helth yu wil find that yu wil like any natural 
food. Disliking certain foods is a sure indication that 
your digestiv apparatus is out of order. 

Do not eat or drink anything, unless as a remedy, 
within three hours before retiring. 

Do not judge as to whether food has agreed with yu 
or not until three or four hours after having eaten it. 

Do not eat anything that produces a feeling of fulness 
in the stomac or abdomen. The "ful" feeling is causd 
by fermentation, which produces^ alcohol and gas. 

Do not eat meat. Boild or baked fish can be tolerated 
once or twice a week by most adults, but I would not 
advize it for children. 

Do not eat pickld foods of any kind. 

Do not eat any kind of vinegar. Lemon juice wil take 
the place of vinegars on all greens, but should never be 
eaten at the same meal with starches or unnatural sweets. 



Do not eat any kind of fats as they not only ar 
unnecessary, but also hav a great tendency to disturb the 
functions of the liver. 

Do not eat anything that yu fear wil hurt yu. Wait 
until the fear has gon. Remember fear is the worst 
dis-eas known to humans. 

Do not eat salt, pepper or any other condiments. 

Do not eat any fried foods. 

Do not eat anything made of denatured (white) 
flour. 

Do not eat yeast. It is a mony-raising fad. 

Do not eat any refined sugar or anything in which 
it is used. Hony is the most natural sweet. 

Do not eat any gravies, or anything thickend with 
flour. 

Do not eat mushes of any kind. 

Do not drink tea, coffee, chocolate or cocoa. 

Do not eat or drink anything ice cold. 

Do not drink anything very hot. 

Do not drink any alcoholic liquors. 

Do not use tobacco in any form. 

Do not use cigarets or any other dope. 

Do not use pepsin digestants. 

Do not eat anything that requires an artificial digestant 
or stimulant. 

Generally speaking, eat twice as long as yu ar in the 
habit of doing, and eat only one-half as much as yu think 
yu need. 

Do not place more food before yu than yu should eat 
for that meal, unless yu can control your appetite 
regardless of what yu see. 

Food is a poison to anyone with a fever. Hence, never 
eat anything when suffering with a fever. 

Acid fruit juices ar often tolerated by one having a 
fever, but nothing else should be taken. 

Feeding persons with a fever has kild more peopl than 
the fevers.

Milk is a solid food and cow's milk is not a natural 
food for humans. Milk is intended for the yung of the 
animal that produces it, and only until the yung animal's 
stomac is so developt as to assimilate other food. After 
that time the mother naturally ceases secreting milk. 

Natural milk never cums in contact with the air. If it 
cums in contact with the air it is no longer natural. 

It is unnatural for the animal to giv milk beyond such 
a time as the yung is weand. Making a milk factory of a 
cow is a most unnatural procedure, and the product cannot 
be recommended as food for the yung of any species. 
Perhaps older ones can stand it, or liv in spite of it. 

The milk of any animal is affected by the mental or 
nervus condition of the animal. Therefore milk from a 
nervus or worrid cow wil hav a tendency to make the 
child that takes it the same. This has been proved to be 
a fact, and milk from a nervus cow wil make a child 
sick and wil change its temperament.* (Condenst milk 
is not fit for a baby or a child. ) 

The pasteurizing of milk was originated in order that 
filthy milk could be kept a long time. It was not "dis- 
coverd" for the good of anyone except the ones 
commercially interested in it. I kno of what I speak. 

The only milk that is fit for an infant is that from its 
own mother, and that is its natural and best food. If, 
however, this cannot be obtaind, raw fruit juices and 
raw vegetabl juices {not given together) ar the best 
substitutes. 

Egs, if correctly prepared, may be good for sum 
persons, but they ar liabl to do much harm if given to 
an infant or child. 

Raw egs ar very hard to digest, and many cannot 

*The Seventeenth edition of "The Natural Way or My Work" goes 
into the biological element in milk quite fully, and cites actual experi- 
ments to prove that the temperament of a person partaking of a 
biological product is influenst by the temperament of the animal pro- 
during that product.

digest them at all. They ar an antidote for poisons that 
ar quickly absorbd. 

A codld eg is quite easily digested by sum. They ar 
prepared by putting them unbroken into boiling water, 
taking the pan off the fire, and allowing them to stand 
in this water eight to ten minits. 

Egs prepared in the folloing manner ar more easily 
digested than in any other form. 

Place a quart bowl in a pan of water and let the water 
cum to a boil. Take away from the fire and into the bowl 
break two egs. Begin beating them immediately with a 
Dover eg beater and continue the beating until the egs 
fil the bowl, which wil take about three minits. If a 
tablspoonful of water is added to the egs, they wil beat 
more easily and quickly. A piece of butter the size of an 
English walnut or a tablspoonful of oliv oil, can be 
placed in the bowl and melted before the egs ar broken 
into it. Any flavor such as garlic, onion, or any of the 
extracts can be added if desired. 

Egs so prepared should be eaten immediately after 
the beating is discontinued. 

When prepared in this manner, the albuminus film 
is mixt with air and thrown up against the hot bowl. In 
this way the chemical properties, or vitamins, of the egs 
ar not very much changed. 

Cereals ar very hard for the human stomac to digest, 
and therefore should be eaten sparingly and masticated 
very thoroly. 

Sum advocate the use of raw cereals, but my experience 
has been that it takes the very strong stomac of a very 
strong person who livs and works in the open to digest 
raw cereals. 

If the cereals ar cookt, their natural salts ar changed, 
and the cookt cereals hav a tendency to ferment in the 
bowels and caus gas. 

White or denatured flour acts as a poison to the sistem 
and cannot be sufficiently condemd. 

sixty-five 



Toasted bred is a remedy for diarrea and is therefore 
constipating. 

Bred, if eaten at all, should be made from the whole 
grain and should not be eaten until twenty-four hours 




after it has been sloly baked. Unlevend bred is preferabl 
to that with yeast in it. 

Shredded-wheat biscuit is the best form in which wheat 
can be eaten. 

sixty-six 



"Ry~Krisp," manufactured by the Original Ry-Krisp 
Co., Minneapolis, Minn., I believ is the best ry product 
made for food. In many respects ry so prepared is better 
than wheat (Fig. 47). 

Both of these products ar wel dextrinized and free 
from yeast. If they ar eaten dry, they must be thoroly 
masticated before they can be swallowd, and a very littl 
goes a long way. 

Butter may be added to iether of these products, but to 
ad cream or milk to them injures them, inasmuch as they 
ar not so wel chewd when soakt in liquids. They should 
be eaten dry and if one is not hungry enuf to eat wheat 
or ry prepared in this manner, they should let it alone. 

*The Los Angeles Times has one of the largest 
circulations of any daily newspaper in the world. It is 
said that the Sunday edition of The Los Angeles Times 
has the largest circulation of any Sunday paper in the 
world. Many persons from all parts of the world take 
the Sunday edition of The Los Angeles Times in order 
that they may get the Magazine Section. They want this 
magazine section becaus of the department entitld, "The 
Care of the Body." This department is conducted by 
that frend of humanity and lover of Nature, Dr. Harry 
Ellington Brook of Los Angeles. 

If the Helth Department in every magazine, or even 
in half the magazines publisht in the United States, wer 
conducted by a man with the rare insight in matters of 
helth and dis-eas that Dr. Brook has, there would be 
no need of helth boards or of one-half the number of 
physicians there ar at present. 

Poisoning of the body by dopes of all kinds, whether 
thru the skin or by the mouth, would be done away with, 
and in place of "helth" boards sanitary engineers would 
look after the welfare of the peopl. This would be an

ideal state of affairs becaus sanitary engineers, as Dr. 
Brook has so often told his readers, ar all the public 
need to protect them from dis-eases. 

I feel that this section on Dietetics would not be com- 
plete unless I ad a few words from Dr. Brook, whom I 
esteem very hyly, and whose courage in fighting for 
the good of humanity is reaping such wonderful results. 
I askt Dr. Brook if he would contribute sumthing to 
this section, and the folloing is from his pen. 

Diet and Dis-eas 

While nearly all dis-eas is due to rong eating, sum 
ailments, more than others, may be traced to dietetic sins. 

Cancer and gall stones ar due to consumption of more 
proteid food — meat, fish, fowl, egs, cheese, beans, etc. 
— than can be assimilated. Tuberculosis is due largely 
to the lack of mineral elements in the food, and to over- 
consumption of starch and meat. 

Reumatism is mainly due to auto-intoxication and uric 
acid. Catar, asthma, adenoids and tonsilitis ar mainly 
due to over-consumption of starch, dairy products and 
sugar. Indeed, most of the dis-eases of children may be 
traced to the over-eating of starches and sweets. 

Leprosy and beriberi ar due to absence of necessary 
organic salts in the food, as, for instance, the absence of 
iron in fish and coconuts, and the deficiency of mineral 
matter in polisht rice. 

"Colds" (which ar fevers) and that more severe form 
of "cold" — neumonia — ar due to over-eating. Other ail- 
ments, such as nervus collapse under varius popular 
names — "neurasthenia," "paresis," "locomotor ataxia" 
— ar due to excesses. 

Even when right foods ar eaten, and in moderate 
quantity, harm may be done by mixing up at the same 
time a number of foods antagonistic to each other. 

This does not mean a person should never "indulge" 
his stomac. It means that if a person habitually and per- 

sixty-eight 



sistently livs to eat, insted of eating to liv, he wil hav 
to pay. 

When yu ar sick, the thing to do is not to "take sum- 
thing*' whether median or food, hut to cease taking 
that which has been making yu sick. 

Dietists differ greatly in the advice they giv the public, 
and thus, those who hav made no study of the subject 
becum confused, and perhaps say: "Oh, what's the use?" 

These three simpl facts stand out, like rocks in a turbid 
stream, to all who hav devoted long and conscientious 
study to the subject of food: 

(1) All unnatural foods harm the sistem, by grad- 
ually unbalancing the functions. Unnatural foods ar 
those that hav been deprived of part of their constituents, 
as white bred, or refined cane sugar, or vegetabls from 
which the juice has been discarded. 

(2) Yu should eat only when yu ar hungry, not 
when yu merely u hav a good appetite," which is usually 
a bad appetite, due to an inflamed condition of the 
stomac. 

(3) Yu should eat only enuf to satisfy real hunger. 
Every ounce eaten over that amount is a slo poison, 
upsetting the digestion, if it be weak, or storing up waste 
in the body, if the digestion be strong. 

(4) There is no "specific" food that wil "do yu 
good" any more than there is a "specific" dope, that wil 
make yu wel, after yu hav becum sick by breaking the 
laws of Nature.

RAW FOOD vs. COOKT FOOD 

I would not want my readers to think that I object to 
my patients eating anything except raw food. However, 
experience has taut me that the nearer they adhere to a 
totally raw-food diet, the better wil their helth be, and the 
greater wil be their resistance. 

If persons hav a mixt diet of raw and cookt food, 
they should eat their acid fruits for brekfast, and nothing 
else; the cookt food for another meal; and the uncookt 
food for another meal. In other words, it is not a good 
plan to hav a meal consist of raw vegetabls and cookt 
vegetabls, but one could hav a meal of cookt vegetabls 
with raw garden herbs such as lettis, celery, spinach, beet 
tops or parsly. 

However, the all-raw-food diet is better, and if one 
becums accustomd to it, he wil never be satisfied with 
cookt food. Cookt food wil ferment in the stomac and 
intestins, while raw food wil not when the stomac and 
bowels ar gotten in good condition. 

While breaking away from the old method of eating, 
sum wil take their acid fruits for brekfast, cookt vege- 
tabls for the midday meal, and raw garden herbs and non- 
acid fruits (figs, dates, raisins and prunes) for the 
evening meal. Or they can change and hav the cookt food 
for the evening meal and the raw food for the midday 
meal. 

If one eats cookt vegetabls and raw vegetabls at the 
same meal, they should eat the raw vegetabls first. 

Experiments with cookt foods hav been made with 
animals. Rabbits, guinea pigs and similar animals wil 
die within a few months if fed only cookt food. Hogs 
fed on cookt food for a few months wil hav colera. Cows 
fed on cookt food wil cease giving milk and wil hav lumps 
under their skin and soon waste away and be useless. 
Horses fed on cookt food for several months wil lose all 
their pep and be valueless. 

seventy 



All animals, humans included, wer evolvd with raw 
food as their natural food. It is only by perverting our 
nature that we hav becum accustomd to eating cookt food. 

Seasoning food up to make it appetizing creates a false 
appetite and induces one to eat more than one should. 
One ounce of raw food givs more nourishment than five 
times its weight in cookt food. Sum say that one ounce 
of raw food is more beneficial than sixteen ounces of 
cookt food. With sum persons, sixteen ounces of cookt 
food would act as a poison, while one ounce of raw food 
would all be utilized by the sistem and consequently be 
of more value. 

From an economic standpoint, raw food is in a clas 
by itself. The amount of waste in cooking food is enor- 
mus. I hav had patients who wer eating from $6.00 to 
$10.00 worth of food a day who hav livd on raw 
food for les than thirty cents a day and they had better 
helth. It is a common experience with my patients to be 
abl to liv on a raw diet at one-tenth the expense of cookt 
food. One dollar's worth of food, if judiciously selected 
and eaten raw, wil keep a person in better condition than 
ten dollars' worth of cookt food. 

After living six months on a raw diet, the craving for 
fancy dishes ceases as wel as the craving for all food that 
has been de-natured. The vitamins ar destroyd by cook- 
ing and the sistem craves sumthing which is sought for 
in all kinds of "delicacies" and irritating foods. 

Vitamins ar the natural salts in natural combination. 
Any process of cooking changes the natural combination 
of the salts, and therefore destroys the vitamins. 

Most of the solubl salts in uncookt food ar made 
insolubl by cooking. 

A great deal could be ritten on the reasons for omitting 
common 5^// (sodium clorid) from one's diet. (Seepage 
114.) Peopl crave salt becaus the food is cookt. Within 
one week's time, a person eating nothing but raw food 
wil find that salt is unsavory. 

seventy-one 



Nine-tenths of the animal kingdom liv and thrive on 
raw food without the addition of salt. The salt manu- 
facturers say that animals crave it, but that is not true 
except in a few sections where pregnant deer wil seek the 
"salt licks" during the winter becaus the sno has coverd 
certain foods that they crave. These "salt licks" also 
contain many minerals besides sodium clorid. Animals wil 
also get in the habit of eating salt the same as humans. 

Horses and cows fed on natural food without any 
salt ar more helthy and wil resist diseas better than 
animals that ar given salt. During the great epidemic of 
epizootic several years ago, horses that had never been 
fed with artificial salt did not take the diseas. 

Salt added to the food changes the osmotic pressure 
(capillary attraction thru animal membrane of liquids of 
different densities) in the body. 

Many cases of catar ar entirely cured by omitting salt. 

A person who eats a great deal of salt is almost sure 
to hav hardening of the arteries (arterio-sclerosis). 

Salt is a slo poison and all the craving for salt would 
be eliminated if one ate only raw food. 

Good illustrations to sho why food should not be 
cookt ar the folloing : 

A watch spring is temperd steel and no chemist can tel 
the difference between a temperd spring and one that has 
been heated. Heating takes out the spring or temper. 

A piece of magnetized steel wil attract a needl. Heat 
it and the magnetism is destroyd. No chemist can tel by 
analisis the difference between the magnetized steel and 
the one that is not. 

Just so with food. If it be cookt its "spring" or its 
"magnetic properties" (sunlight and the natural forces 
of the erth) ar destroyd. In other words, we hav driven 
out the life or "pep" and only ded material remains. 

Another comparison is seen by putting fresh coal or 
cinders on the fire. If one wants to make the fire burn 

seventy-two 



he puts on coal, but if he wants to bank the fire, he puts 
on cinders. The one givs life while the other smothers 
the fire. 



"IF" 

If yu can keep your hed when all about yu 

Ar losing theirs and blaming it on yu; 
If yu can trust yourself when all men dout yu, 

But make allowance for their douting too ; 
If yu can wait and not be tired by waiting, 

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, 
Or being hated, don't giv way to hating, 

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wize ; 

If yu can dream — and not make dreams your master 

If yu can think — and not make thots your aim; 
If yu can meet with Triumf and Disaster 

And treat those two Impostors just the same; 
If yu can bear to hear the truth yu'v spoken 

Twisted by naves to make a trap for fools, 
Or watch the things yu gave your life to, broken, 

And stoop and bild 'em up with worn-out tools; 

If yu can make one heap of all your winnings 

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-tos, 
And lose, and start again at your beginnings 

And never breathe a word about your los ; 
If yu can force your hart and nerv and sinew 

To serv your turn long after they ar gon, 
And so hold on when there is nothing in yu 

Except the Wil which says to them : "Hold on" ; 

If yu can talk with crowds and, keep your virtue 

Or walk with Kings — nor lose the common tuch, 
If neither foes nor loving f rends can hurt yu, 

If all men count with yu, but not too much; 
If yu can fil the unforgiving minit 

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, 
Yours is the Erth and everything that's in it, 

And — which is more — yu'l be a Man, my son.

Dried, Dessicated, or De-hydrated Foods * 

In sum seasons of the year, and in sum parts of the 
cuntry, certain vegetabls and fruits cannot be obtaind. 
In such instances I would suggest the use of dried, 
dessicated or de-hydrated vegetabls and fruits. 

Do not use foods that ar preservd in liquids becaus 
such hav been de-natured to make them keep. Vegetabls 
and fruits that ar dried in the open air in a natural 
manner ar better than those dried by a forst process. 
However, we cannot always obtain at all times of the 
year just what we would like, and fruits and vegetabls 
dried by the natural processes require so much time that 
it is not practical commercially. There ar artificial 
methods of drying, dessicating or de-hydrating vegetabls 
and fruits that preserv nearly all the natural salts in 
natural combination (vitamins). In California a great 
industry is being establisht for de-hydrating and dessi- 
cating foods. 

All vegetabls and the majority of fruits can be 
de-hydrated in such a manner that they wil keep for years. 
By this process the water is practically all removed from 
them. The only water that remains is in the same pro- 
portion as it is in the air. Even if all the water is 
removed and the vegetabls or fruits ar exposed to the 
air, they wil absorb from the air a certain amount of 
moisture. 

If any process of drying, dessicating or de-hydrating 
is employd that requires a degree of heat higher than 
120°F. sum of the properties in the food ar changed. 

*Carque Pure Food Co., Inc., Los Angeles, Calif., specializes in 
dried fruits and nuts of all kinds.

General Considerations. 

As a rule, when one changes from an unnatural to 
a natural diet, it is best to go on a "water fast" for 
from one to six days. Break the fast by taking orange 
juice, six ounces three times a day for three days. Then 
gradually ad such food as garden herbs. Within one 
week after such a fast one becums accustomd to the raw 
food, and as the inflammatory condition of the digestiv 
tract subsides, the raw food wil becum more and more 
appetizing. 

The preparation of raw foods has a great deal to do 
with their attractivness. (See pp. 88-94.) Carrots can be 
grated or shredded. Green peas can be put thru a shred- 
der and when they ar put in the center of a dish of grated 
carrots it makes a very appetizing and attractiv-looking 
dish. 

Sliced tomatoes servd on a plate with pieces of 
cauliflower, lettis, watercres, or parsly, hav a very 
attractiv appearance. 

Nasturtiums, pansies, marigolds, calendulas, chrisan- 
themums, violets, sweet peas, etc., ar good to eat and can 
be used as dressings for raw foods. 

If a person's stomac cannot tolerate the raw food at 
first, a "juicer" can be employd. This grinds the vege- 
tabls and squeezes the juice out. In this manner the juice 
can be exracted from rubarb and diluted one-half to 
two-thirds with water, and a teaspoonful of hony added 
to each six-ounce glas of liquid. This makes a fine drink. 

If one desires a hot drink or bouillion, there is nothing 
better than Vegex or Herb-ex* The former is a paste, 
the latter a liquid. These ar made from vegetabls and 
herbs without aplying heat. A quarter teaspoonful of the 
paste, or a teaspoonful of the liquid, added to a cup of 
water of the right temperature to drink, makes a most

delicious substitute for "beef extract" or any other meat 
bouillon. To these can be added raw carrots, raw beets 
or juices from any vegetabls, making a hot, raw vegetabl 
soup. This makes a very good articl of diet if eaten in 
moderation. 

Cottage cheese is very good and can be eaten with 
raisins, dates or prunes, but it should not be eaten 
in any great quantity. 

Nuts, cottage cheese and regular cheese take the place 
of meat, but because of their hy proteid contents should 
be eaten sparingly. Two tablspoonfuls of hickory-nut 
meats, English walnut meats, or pecan meats, or almonds, 
ar enuf at any one meal. 

Nuts can be eaten with any kind of fruit, but acid 
fruits should never be eaten with vegetabls or peanuts. 
(Peanuts ar not nuts, but belong to the legume family — 
peas, beans and lentils.) 

Peanuts make one of the best foods if eaten in 
moderation, but they should not be roasted. The best 
way to prepare them is to steam them enuf to soften the 
shels and shucks so they wil cum off easily. Then dry 
them in a slo oven or in the sun, and eat without salt. 
These ar known as unsalted, blancht peanuts. 

A good concentrated food is the folloing fruit and nut 
paste. Take one part of: 

Dried Prunes 

Dried Dates without sirup 

Seedless Raisins 

English walnut meats or other nut meats 

Peanuts — not roasted 
(With the walnuts can be added one-half pound of 
pecans, filberts, or pistachio nuts.) 

Stone the prunes, mix all together, and put them thru 
a meat chopper two or three times. This makes a balanst 
ration and can be eaten daily with raw vegetabls and 
herbs such as raw alfalfa, lettis, spinach, dandelions, 
cauliflower, cabbage, celery, tomatoes, etc. 

seventy-six 



If peanuts ar added, it should not be eaten with acid 
fruits or tomatoes. 

If anyone is constipated "senna prunes" can be added 
in place of the dried prunes. 

Senna prunes ar prepared as folios: 

Over one ounce of senna leavs pour one quart of 
boiling water. Let stand two hours and strain, throwing 
away the leavs. To the clear part ad one pound of wel- 
washt prunes. Let them soak over nite. 

Cook them in the same water over a very slo fire for 
about twenty minits. Ad water to make up for what 
evaporates. (Or it can be simmerd down to make a sirup.) 

If water has not been simmerd to a sirup, ad two 
tablspoonfuls of hony after water is lukewarm. 

Eat one prune and a littl of the juice after each meal, 
or eat one, two or three after the evening meal. Grad- 
uate the amount of prunes and juice according to 
looseness of bowels. 

For a tonic no food is better than the blossoms and 
small leavs of alfalfa or red clover. A small quantity 
of these eaten every day is better than any other tonic 
that I kno of. Every debilitated person can derive great 
benefit from eating them. If one objects to the taste of 
alfalfa or clover, they can mix it with cottage cheese or 
garden mint or tomatoes, or any vegetabl or garden herb. 

Raw spinach cums next in mineral and tonic properties. 
Next cum water cres, lettis, celery, beet tops, Swiss chard, 
raw cabbage, dandelions, etc. (Celery leaves ar really 
better than the white stalk.) 

A small handful of raw parsly should be eaten every 
day. It has a most beneficial effect upon the urinary tract. 

Bananas I cannot recommend as a food unless they be 
eaten in the cuntry where they gro. The bananas found 
at places distant from where they gro ar pickt green and 
then sloly ripend in the dark. Such bananas ar very hard 
to digest and ar not assimilated by the average person. 
They giv a "ful feeling" and "stand by" a long time. 

seventy-seven 



The reason for this is that, like boild cabbage, they ar 
very indigestibl, and in fact very littl of them is digested. 

Some concerns ar now dehydrating or sun-drying very 
ripe bananas. These dried bananas ar quite easily 
digested, but one or two ar enuf for one meal-time. 

A baked banana is much more easily digested than 
a raw one, but during the baking process the natural 
salts (vitamins) hav been destroyd. Therefore the best 
part of the food has been lost. 

Apis, if ripend on the tree, ar delicious and helthful, 
but those that ar pickt green and put into cold storage 
form gas in the stomac and bowels. One must eat apis 
cautiously and if they disagree, let them alone. Sum 
varieties ar far more digestibl than others. 

I am often askt if it is harmful to lie down after eating. 
To this I anser, "Go to Nature and ask her" Every 
other animal lies down after eating if it can. Our helth 
would be much improved if we could lie down and relax 
after eating. The habit of eating and then getting up 
and going to work (either fisical or mental) is entirely 
rong. Relaxation of fifteen minits after a meal is better 
than all the tonics known. 

If a person feel sleepy after eating, do not be afraid 
that he wil hav "apoplexy," becaus there is no danger 
unless he has stuft. Stuffing is not conduciv to helth, and 
is had manners. 




EAR a smile on your face, 
Keep a laf in your hart, 
Let your lips bubl over with song;

And help sum other sinner along.

HELPFUL HELTH HINTS— Resume 

Use no cigarets, tobacco, alcohol or other dope. 

Use no salt, pepper, vinegar, tea, coffee, chocolate, 
cocoa, refined sugar or refined flour. 

Never eat acid fruits or tomatoes with starches or 
sugars. 

Never eat or drink anything ice cold or very hot. 

Hony is a natural sweet if not cookt. 

One glas of unstraind orange juice, if taken alone, 
givs twice as much real nourishment as the same amount 
of fresh cow's milk. 

As much as possibl eat only one clas of food at each 
meal — for exampl, citrus fruits for brekfast and nothing 
else, and raw vegetabls for the midday meal and supper. 

Remember one ounce of raw food givs more life and 
energy to the body than many times the same amount 
of cookt food. Raw, natural food contains the natural 
salts in natural combination (vitamins) but if cookt, the 
solubl salts ar made insolubl and their natural, life-giving 
combinations ar changed into abnormal combinations, 
which caus the sistem to crave more and more abnormal 
foods. Abnormal foods ferment in the stomac or bowels 
and produce gas. Gas creates distention, leading to catar, 
gastritis, colitis, proctitis, pelvic inflammation, constipa- 
tion, diarrea, auto-intoxication, reumatism, neuritis, pal- 
pitation of the hart, nervusness, trembling, etc. 

Humans ar the only animals that eat by the clock, eat 
when sick, or drink becaus they ar told to do so. 

Eat only when hungry. Drink only when thirsty. 

Never eat when sick, especially when sick with a fever. 

Be cheerful. 

Do not be afraid. Fear is the worst dis-ease known. 

YEAST AS A "FOOD" 
(See Addenda for more about yeast.) 
At the present time when the breweries ar trying to 
camouflage the public into using yeastcakes, it is apropos 
to say a few words regarding them. 

seventy-nine 



Yeast, such as is turnd out by the breweries, is not 
a fit articl for food and I cannot condem it enuf. Many 
persons having the degree of M. D. ar being employd 
by the breweries to rite very flattering testimonials re- 
garding the beneficial effects of yeast as a food. This 
is miserabl, commercialized propaganda, and it is a blot 
upon the medical profession to believ such reports. 

Sum of my patients, being influenst by such literature, 
hav eaten two or three comprest yeastcakes a day along 
with their other food. Within a month or six weeks they 
broke out with boils about the neck and buttocks. 

The only claim that any of this literature has to make 
in favor of the yeast is that it contains "vitamins." A 
tablspoonful of raw cabbage contains far more vitamins 
than a comprest yeast cake and there is no comparison as 
to the food value of the two. 

There ar only about 50 pounds of real food in 2,000 
pounds of brewers' yeast. 

Yeast is not fit to eat. The only use for yeast is to 
ferment sugar, thus producing carbon-dioxid gas for mak- 
ing bred light or carbonating certain liquids containing 
sugar. Yeast raises bred by fermenting sugar and produc- 
ing gas. What can one expect yeast wil do in the stomac? 
Yeast fermentation in the stomac is just what we all try 
to avoid. 

Just as I am riting the above my attention is cald to a 
very abl articl by a competent physician and chemist, set- 
ting forth that yeast as it is sent out from the breweries 
is to be vigorusly condemd as a food, but if it be put thru 
a certain process for extracting certain objectionabl prop- 
erties, it can then be made suitabl. He states that he has 
discoverd a method for doing this and would advize per- 
sons to eat his "sientifically prepared yeast" rather than 
the commercial yeast. So it goes. Commercialism is back 
of all the yeast, or denatured yeast, propaganda. My 
advice is to let yeast alone.

UNFIRED AND FIRED FOODS COMPARED* 



Advantageus Food Disadvantages Food 

PROTEIDS 



Unfired nuts and legumes 
neutralize and absorb the 
acids of the stomac and 
prevent stomac fermentation. 
They do not endanger the 
sistem with proteid poisoning, 
since the gastric juices deter- 
min the quality of their 
protein required and to be 
absorbd. Unfired protein has 
a wholesum chemical consti- 
tution after it is digested and 
absorbd. 



Cookt and baked legumes 
and nuts hav lost their alkalin 
activity and tend to putrid 
fermentation in the stomac 
and ar sure to decay in the 
intestins, and the resulting 
gases caus auto-intoxication 
(self poisoning) and consti- 
pation. The portion absorbd is 
chemically so abnormal that it 
generally breaks down into 
destructiv poisons and uric 
acid. 



STARCHES 



Unfired starch as it cums 
from the hand of Nature in 
cereals and roots is in the 
most perfect form for food. 
Cereals ar best eaten dry to 
insure proper ensalivation 
to initiate perfect digestion. 
With unfired starch the saliva 
and small intestins can regul- 
ate the quantity required to 
be changed into sugar for 
absorption. The refused por- 
tion of unfired starch does not 
becum injurius to the sistem 
as it does not redily ferment 
or decay. 



Cookt and predigested starch 
is changed into solubl starch 
and glucose. In this unnatural 
form it is too freely absorbd 
and thus it oversaturates the 
blood. This condition compels 
an overdraft on the oxigen in 
the blood and then it burdens 
the organs of respiration. 
When the stomac and intestins 
refuse to absorb this unnat- 
ural starch it ferments and 
causes as much trubl in 
another way. ( Cookt starch 
is too much predisposed to 
ferment and decay.

to move and transport the 
food material. It develops the 
peristaltic musls by giving 
them resistance, and also stim- 
ulates the peristaltic activity. 
Last but not least, it elimi- 
nates waste poisons from the

cellulose tends to produce con-

Cookt foods generally promote 
the very unfavorabl conditions

RAW FOODS AND THEIR COMBINATIONS 

The folloing is a list of such foods as should be eaten 
raw. One need not be afraid of the combinations if they 
wil remember the one great essential, namely, to eat no 
acid fruits with starches or unnatural sweets. (Hony is a 
natural sweet) . 

Nuts combine wel with all other foods. (Peanuts ar 
not nuts but belong to the legume family and ar clast with 
peas, beans, and lentils.) 

The salads such as lettis, Swiss chard, watercres, 
parsly, etc., combine wel with all other foods. 

Figs, dates, prunes, and raisins ar neutral fruits 
(natural sweets) and can be eaten with any of the other 
foods. 

Oranges, grapefruit, lemons, limes, apis, pineapls, 
tomatoes, etc., should be eaten by themselvs or combined 
with the salads and nuts (not peanuts). 

Acid drinks such as rubarb juice, berry juice and juice 
from fresh grapes and acid-fruit juices should not be 
taken with unnatural sweets or starches. 

Proteids such as nuts, cottage cheese, or other cheese, 
combine wel with any other clas of food if eaten in 
moderation. 

The folloing is a partial list of foods that can be and 
should be eaten raw, but too great a variety should not 
be eaten at one meal*

THE PREPARATION OF RAW FOODS* 

The art of preparing raw food so as to make it 
attractiv and appetizing can be very easily cultivated. 
One can use a great deal of ingenuity in arranging food 
so as to pleas the eye. Sum peopl ar so constituted that 
a raw potato, carrot, turnip, etc. looks inviting, while to 
others it would be repulsiv unless they wer extremely 
hungry. 

Almost any food can be prepared with a sharp nife, 
and a chopping bowl and nife, but there ar utensils that 
wil greatly facilitate this work. 

Fig. 48 illustrates a food chopper that can be procured 
from any house-furnishing store. With this chopper there 
cum varius discs so one can chop the food coarse or fine, 
or they can flake it. Nuts, for exampl, can be flaked 
with such a utensil. 

Carrots, green peas, green beans, turnips, potatoes, 
ground artichokes, onions, nuts, dates, figs, dried prunes, 
etc., can be ground or "chopt" with this instrument. 

X in Fig. 48 shows a reversibl disc used for flaking 
nuts and peanuts. When one side of this disc is used 
the nuts cum out looking like stript macaroni {A) . When 
the other side is used, the nuts cum out looking like ver- 
micelli (B). This is what is known as a flaking disc 
and cums with this style of food chopper. 

For preparing grains or dried legumes, a littl hand 
mil illustrated in Fig. 49 can be used. 

Fig. 50 illustrates Dr. Drew's f laker or hromer. This 
is used for flaking nuts, peanuts, lentils and grains. It 
is also used for mixing such articls as grains and hony 
for making unfired piecrust. There ar many uses to which 

*One who prepares cookt food is a cook, but one who prepares 
raw food is known as a "troph" (trof), from the Greek word mean- 
ing to feed. "Brom" from the Greek word meaning food, means an 
unfired cake. A "bromer" signifies a machine for "broming," or shred- 
ding. Any of the utensils herein illustrated to be utilized by a trof 
in preparing raw foods can be had from Dr. George J. Drew, 1910 N. 
Harding Ave., Chicago, 111., or they can be procured thru your dealer.

it can be put and I would advize anyone who wishes to 
prepare raw food in a tasty manner to get sum of these 
utensils. 

This Fig. 50 shows the flaker, or bromer, flaking 
coconut, which is broken up as illustrated in the sketch. 

Fig. 5 1 illustrates a fruit juicer. This is a very simpl 
utensil and of inestimabl value for extracting the juices 
from vegetabls and fruits. It grinds or chops the fruit 
or vegetabl and pushes the ground substance into a com- 
partment that is made as tight as one may wish by simply 
turning the screw S. 

The juice cums out at the opening at / while the pulp 
cums out of the opening at P. 

For making helth drinks such as rubarbade, apl juice, 
grape juice, berry juices, and juices from varius roots, 
this utensil is of great value. This Fig. 5 1 shows rubarb 
prepared for juicing and shows it going thru the juicer. 

Fig. 52 shows a shredder. This is used for shredding 
any of the tubers, roots, etc. 

At W is shown a wooden block that is used for pressing 
the cut-up material down on the shredding nives. 

This Figure shows carrots cut up redy for shredding 
and going thru the shredder.

Roots can also be chopt 
up in this manner, but Figure 56

It wil be notist that no combinations ar given where acid fruits 
or tomatoes ar used in conjunction with starches or unnatural sweets 

It wil also be notist that I do not clas peanuts with nuts, becaus 
they ar not nuts but belong to the legume family just as much as 
peas or beans. Consequently, peanuts should not be eaten with or 
mlxt with acid fruits, rubarb, tomatoes or berries.

ninety-six 



This milk is "acid sterilized." It is more wholesum for weand 
children or adult convalescents than "warm or sweet milk, which 
I never prescribe. 

Plain milk is not advized in a natural diet, but if one likes sourd 
milk, this lemonized milk is delicious. 

(If one does not hav an eg beater handy, they can fil a quart 
jar half ful of sweet milk, ad to it the juice of half a lemon, seal 
it and vigorusly shake, keeping it in rapid agitation for at least 
two minits.) 

12 
Kul-Lak* or Cultured Milk 

Put one quart of skimd milk into a Florence flask or a milk 
bottle that wil stand heat. Seal with cotton, put in a coverd pail 
half ful of water, with a board in the bottom. Let the water cum to 
a boil and let it remain in the boiling water and steam for at least 
twenty minits. Take the pail from the fire, but let the milk remain 
in the water until it has coold to about 90° F. 

Ad one small bottl Bulgarian Lactic Acid Bacillif in solution. 

Shake this wel and put into a regular milk incubator that wil 
keep a constant temperature of 90° F. In about twenty-four hours 
this wil be coagulated to the consistency of custard when it should 
be thoroly shaken. (See Figure 76A, Page 94.) 

To this can be added the amount of cream that was taken off 
the milk and all shaken together, or the cream can be added just 
before serving. 

One ounce of the above can be used as a "starter" to ad to an- 
other quart of skim milk insted of the bottl of bacilli, and the milk 
treated in the same manner. This process can be carrid on for 
several weeks if one is very particular to not contaminate the cul- 
tured milk that is used as a "starter." 

This Kul-Lak or cultured milk is best eaten with a spoon, and 
is very beneficial in many cases of indigestion, auto-intoxication, 
diabetes, Bright's diseas, arterio-sclerosis, reumatism, etc. 

SOUPS 

(The amounts here given ar sufficient for one person)

bits). 
y 2 oz. Parsly or celery (Mince very fine). 
l / 2 oz. Hony (1 teaspoonful), if desired. 

•Kul-Lak is my trademarkt name for cultured milk, which I make 
for my patients. I do not recommend regular milk to anyone hecaus 
it is not a natural food for infants nor adults, but as a remedy for 
many stomac and intestinal trubls, I hav found cultured milk to be 
beneficial.

a solution. Abbott Laboratories, Ravenswood Station, Chicago, also 
prepare it. Knudsen makes and furnishes the incubators.)

WHY SALT?* 

Salt, Sodium Clorid (NaCl) is a very stabl substance, 
composed of clorin gas, which is intensely negativ, and 
sodium, an intensely positiv, metallic element. The 
elements, sodium and clorin, when united to form 
a molecule, stil manifest their individual caracter by an 
intense molecular vibration. The molecular vibration of 
salt blinds the sense of taste in the tastebuds just as direct 
sunlight blinds the sense of sight to everything that is 
les bright. After a continued use of salt, the sense of taste 
becums so blunted to the natural and finer flavgrs of food 
that nothing savors or pleases except salt or condiments 
of equal intensity. For this reason salt has been com- 
monly used to hide flavors objectionabl to the abnormal 
or perverted sense of taste. 

Salt is so stabl that it cannot be digested or broken 
up and utilized in the metabolism of the sistem. It is 
ingested as salt and excreted unchanged. Every eel in 
the sistem that absorbs salt contracts and thereby dis- 
gorges its albumin and other constructiv elements. In 
this way it hardens the tissues in general and shrivels 
the corpusls of the blood. It obstructs absorption of food 
and disturbs natural osmosis (the filtering thru the mem- 
brane). It also interferes with secretion and excretion, 
prevents the formation of fibrin and dissolvs the globules. 
It is a historic and sientific fact that salt, in connection 
with flesh givs rise to scurvy, salt rheum, kidny trubl and 
other cutaneus and constitutional disorders. The historic 
epidemic "Black Deth" of Europe, was causd by pickld 
meat. Salt is one of the causes of the inflammation under 
the brests, in the armpits, and under the nose. 

Salt causes an irresistibl thirst, which has led many 
a man to inebriety and dipsomania. 

♦Extracts from "Unfired Food and Trophotherapy"- by Dr. George 
J. Drew, 1910 No. Harding Ave., Chicago, 111. 

For further particulars regarding salt refer to "The Salt-Eating 
Habit," by Richard T. Colby, publisht by Dr. George J. Drew.

Salt has only a few uses in domestic economy. It is 
indispensibl in liquefying ice belo the freezing point. It 
compels ice to absorb positiv temperature when used in 
freezers. It is substituted for sand in salt-rubs. It is a 
good emergency emetic, and, if need be, an irritant. 
Lastly, it is a good antiseptic in substances that ar not 
intended for food. English stockbreeders found it detri- 
mental to the highest development of prize stock; hence 
they hav excluded salt from all stockfood. Their stock 
is known to be the finest. Salt is a poison to fowls, 
especially to songsters. Don't try it on your pet bird. 

In North Siberia salt is unknown as a food condiment. 



SUNSHINE OR SHADO 

Life is always what we make it, 

Ever see its lofty goal, 
For the frowning walls of prison, 

Never yet enslaved a soul. 
Tho the flesh be held in bondage, 

Yet the spirit heeds the call 
To reach out and find the Sunshine, 

Or the Shado, of the wall. 

Ar yu thinking of the winter, 

With its skies of sullen gloom, 
Or the golden skies of springtime, 

When the roses ar in bloom? 
Does your mind dwel on the autum, 

When the leavs turn brown and fall ; 
Ar yu living in the Sunshine, 

Or the Shado, of the wall? 

Ar yu wasting tears and hartakes 

On the failures of the past? 
Cheer up now, make resolutions 

To be victor at the last. 
Do yu stil possess the manhood 

That yu had before your fall; 
Ar yu working in the Sunshine 

Or the Shado, of the wall?

THE OLD ABUSED STOMAC 
(With Apologies to The Old Oaken Bucket) 

How dear to my hart ar the whims of my stomac 

When acute indigestion presents them to view ! 

Each idiosyncrasy proves entertaining 

To me tho they be of no interest to yu. 

On things that I can eat, 

And things that I can't eat, 

The things that I must eat 

Alone do I dwel, 

And when I hav eaten, I wish that I had not 

When frends of the evils of food fondly tel. 

How dear to my hart ar the anti-food lectures, 

The lectures on "frendly" and "unfrendly" germs ; 

The poisons of food and the dangers of eating 

Ar pictured so strongly in unmesured terms. 

The things that I would eat, 

The things that I should eat, 

The things that I once ate — 

Each one they forbid, 

And sadly I turn to the nuts and the raw food 

In which they say virtues of healing ar hid. 

— Clara Cox Epperson, in Life. 



HIS IMAGE 



Men speak of God, a Thing so far away 
They could not reach Him in a year-long day; 
As one apart from them on whom appeal 
Might hav effect upon their woe or weal. 
God is not "god," unto Himself complete, 
A being, man-like, 'dornd with hands and feet, 
Brooding in state upon sum misty cloud, 
Whim-fild and jelus, haughty, vain and proud, 
With countenance that only saints may see ! 
God's everywhere — and best of all in ME ! 
A million faces mark the face of Him ; 
Your face and mine ; that poor face scard by sin 
A million voices and a million hands, 
Each part and parcel of His Image stands, 
For God includes each grain of sand or sea. 
All things IN Him, He dwels in yu and me. 

— L. V. Jefferson.

But the man worth while 
Is the man who can smile 
When everything goes ded rong. 




VIBRATION IS LIFE 

The "pagan" vibrates her desires to 
her god. The "civilized' 
desires to his God. 

In these days of "Advanst Thot," we hear the term, 
"Vibration," a great deal. It is being used almost gener- 
ally among those who teach occult sience becaus there 
seems to be no other term to express the caus of certain 
fenomena. 

Those who hav red my larger works on this subject 
wil kno that I believ that all life is merely an inter- 
pretation of varius processes of vibration, and that it is 
only vibration, or a rate and mode of motion, that 
differentiates one substance from another. 

As I could not find a word to cover my interpretation 
of the word vibration as I understand it, I coind the 
word, "Vibratology" This word cums from the Latin 
word vibrare — to vibrate, and the Greek word lego — to 
speak and in its broad sense means a treatis on vibration* 

*My book, "The Natural Way or My Work, Seventeenth Edition" 
goes into this subject quite fully, and I would refer those who wish to 
go into the subject further to that book. 



one hundred seventeen 



Under the hed of Vibratology all remedial agencies 
can be clast. All fenomena of Nature can be clast under 
the same hed. 

Creation is a fenomena of vibration. All life has its 
genesis from vibration. 

Evolution of life from germination to birth is a 
fenomenon of vibration. 

Development is a fenomenon of vibration. 

Maturity is the zenith of vibratory fenomenon. 

Senility is a fenomenon of retarded or exhausted 
vibration. 

Deth is a cessation of mundane vibration and the birth 
of a more specialized vibration. 

"There is no deth! What seems so is transition. 

This life of mortal breth 
Is but a suburb of the life Elysian 

Whose portal we call Deth." 

Putting it in another way, we might say that we ar 
concievd by an act of vibration; we ar born by an act of 
vibration. Our whole life and all fenomena connected 
with it ar different forms of vibration; and the cessation 
of erthly life is merely a change in vibration. 

Imagin, if yu can, the time when all space was one 
great "void," when all the fundamental entities of matter 
wer as "ethereal" as space itself. These entities, for sum 
reason that no human has yet been abl to explain, must 
hav been in constant motion or vibration. Littl by littl 
they attracted one another until the beginning of a world 
was in process. This elementary world or planet was no 
larger than the hed of a pin, but in comparison with its 
entities it was as great as our telescopic universe. This 
particl, made up of innumerabl entities, attracted other 
entities to it until after ages and ages of vibration great 
powers wer accumulated — powers that ar greater than 
mortal mind can imagin. 

After countless trillions of years, one planet or world 
after another was formd, each held in its own relation 

one hundred eighteen 



to the other by the power that it accumulated thru all 
these endless eons of time. 

As ages and ages went by, specialized vibration was 
evolvd, and in its trail forms of life wer developt. These 
specialized vibrations in time had an influence upon other 
forms of vibrations, and so on thru all the ages one 
vibration has influenst another vibration until we hav "the 
erth and all that in it is" as sum of the products of 
specialized vibration. 

Vegetation is only another form of vibration which 
differentiates it from the erth in which it grows. 

Animal life is simply another specialization of sum 
vibratory force. 

It can be redily seen that when we ar dealing with 
vibration, we ar dealing with all that was, is and wil be. 

If we could kno how the fundamental entity of matter 
had its being, we would understand the secret of life. 

Everything that has motion is matter, and whether 
we can weigh it or not, it is matter just the same. We ar 
educated to think that all matter has weight. Perhaps 
it has, but not weight in the sense of the term as we 
understand it. 

Thus, for exampl, we cannot weigh thots, but "thots 
ar things." That is, they vibrate, and they hav an aprec- 
iabl effect upon all matter. All animal life expresses its 
joy or sorro by different forms of vibration. The dancing 
girl of ages gon by exprest her joy in the same manner 
as the dancing girl of the present time. The worshipper 
of idols of centuries ago exprest his suplications in the 
same way as the worshipper of modern times expresses 
his desires in prayer to the Architect of the Universe. 

The birds express their joy in the vibration of song, 
and the child expresses its joy in like manner. The kitten 
expresses its joy in the vibration of play and the child 
does likewize. 

The mourners at the bier express their sorro thru 
vibration. Love is an expression of vibration, while 

one hundred nineteen 



sorro is another expression of vibration, and anger is stil 
another. In other words, all emotions as wel as all motions 
ar simply fenomena of vibration. 

It can be seen that in the word, Vibratology, we hav 
a term that covers not only all remedial agencies but 
all destructiv agencies. If we could but understand the 
fundamentals of vibration,we would understand life itself. 

When the eels of the body vibrate, they generate a 
form of vibration or motion. This might be exprest as 
DESIRE. 

I believ everything in all life is the product of Desire, 
or the natural product of necessity. For exampl, the 
crudest form of vegetation desired more breathing 
capacity, and therefore the leavs wer developt. 

In animal life, the desire to taste or differentiate food 
must hav been present before the evolution of the sense 
of taste. The desire to feel must hav been present before 
the evolution of the sense of feeling was developt. The 
desire to smel must hav been exprest before the sense of 
smel was granted. The desire to\ see must hav been pres- 
ent before the development of sight. The desire to hear 
must hav been exprest before the organs of hearing wer 
developt. 

In other words, all evolution is the product of Desire, 
taken in the broad sense of the word. 

Sum wil say that Desire belongs only to animal life, 
but I believ that vegetation also possesses that attribute. 
Appetite is one of the meanings given for Desire, and we 
kno that plants hav an appetite for water or their special 
food. This is wel illustrated by the manner in which the 
roots reach out for the food the plant desires. I once 
dug up the skeleton of a horse buried years before. While 
digging it up, I found sum roots, and as no vegetation 
was anywhere near the spot, I lookt around to see from 
whence the roots came. I finally traced them hundreds 
of feet away to a grapevine. The "soul" of this grapevine 
must hav had a desire for sum of the elements in that 

one hundred twenty 



skeleton, or it would not hav sent its tentacls that great 
distance to obtain them. 

Recently I had sum excavating done where water had 
draind for several years. In this excavation I found roots 
of palm trees that wer nearly two hundred feet distant. 
The palm trees desired water and by sum unexplainabl 
force they wer abl to push their roots out thru the hard 
adobe soil until they reacht this place where the ground 
was wet. Had there been no water pourd there these 
roots would never hav gon there, becaus- where there was 
no water there wer no roots. 

These ar only two illustrations of hundreds that I 
could giv to make my premises sound when I use the word 
desire for inanimate life as wel as for animate life. 

Thot is a specialized vibration which puts into concrete 
form Desire. Therefore I shal briefly discus Thot Fib- 
ratology becaus of its importance in one's wel being. 

The effect of mind over matter is greater than many 
dream. Therefore anyone who wishes to obtain helth 
and retain it, or in other words obtain YOUTH and 
retain YOUTH, must cultivate the right manner of 
thinking. 




OVE'S AQE ... 



"Love's old as the world," yu say? 

Nay, dearest, that is far too yung. 
Wer Love no older than this tiny, whirling part — 

But lately born — of the Great Universe, 
True wer the pagan ges 

That made a thotless boy at play, 
Wounding poor mortals with his golden dart, 

The type of Love. Aeons ere the erth was flung 
Forth from the sun, to be the stage where we reherse, 

Deep in the fathomless 
Abiss of primal Space — its living Hart — 

Love dwelt alone, older than Nite or Day; 
For God is Love, and Love is God.

THINK 

"As a man thinketh, so is he." 

Just at this time we ar hearing and reading a great 
deal about "spiritual healing" "mental healing" "thot 
transference" "thots ar things" and allied subjects. 

For sum reason or other, this subject has been clast 
under the hed of "New Thot." Just why, I cannot under- 
stand, becaus in the ritings of the old filosofers, we see 
every indication of their belief in what we now term, 
"New Thot." So, wer I to hav my choice of terms, I 
would say "old thot" "original thot" or "natural thot." 

Very few peopl think. They acquire the habit of 
reading, but the faculty of thot dies from disuse atrofy. 
Not long ago when a frend of mine herd that I was riting 
on sum of these subjects, he askt me if I would not like 
to borro his library of books on "New Thot" and allied 
subjects. I told him that I did not becaus if I red on 
that subject I might copy the thots of others and forget 
to think on my own account. It is much easier to ride 
up hil than it is to walk up hil, and it is much easier to 
copy than it is to think. 

A few months ago I had occasion to look up sum 
special subject in therapeutics. I lookt thru a large library 
of books on the subject, and altho I traced it back for 
about fifty years thru more than that number of authors, 
I found not one new idea exprest — all was copied from 
the first riter, who was evidently the only thinker. 

Thots ar things. I wish I could impress upon every 
reader of this book the fact that thots ar things and can 
be as dedly as the most poisonus gas, or as life-giving 
as sunlight. We often hear the expression that there is 
nothing new under the sun, and in one way that is true, 
becaus what we call "new" is the product of a specially 
differentiated thot.

I want my readers to be imprest with the fact that there 
is such a therapeutic agency as thot or desire. 

If the body be made wel and the mind remain 
unchanged, the person wil stil be sick. In other words, 
unless the mind work in unison with the body, one cannot 
expect to obtain relief. It is for that reason that I want 
to impress forcibly the fact that if one wish to obtain 
helth he must desire it, putting his mind on it and working 
with the faith that he wil get wel. 

No one should ever go to a physician for treatment 
unless he hav faith that the physician can help him. It 
is worse than throwing away time and mony. A person 
should believ that he can attain to sumthing, and then 
work with all his might and energy to reach that goal. 

To attempt to recover from an ilness and stil believ 
yu cannot recover, puts yu in a hopeless condition, becaus 
"as a man thinketh, so is he." 

It matters not under what name a method of healing 
may travel, if it giv aid to the patient either bodily or 
mental, it is a good method, and it is the duty of every 
physician to employ every means at his disposal for 
treating the sick and comforting the afflicted. 

The time has cum when we must not close our eyes 
to facts as they ar, or to conditions as they ar today. 
Do not scof at any method of healing, but study it and 
lern what there is of merit in it. By so doing yu wil 
be abl not only to benefit yourself, but to benefit others. 

Often sick persons ar kept sick by having a nurse or 
sumone about them that annoys them or has a bad effect 
upon them in sum manner. If aware of this, it is the 
duty of the physician to remedy it. 

If one hav sunlight in his soul, that sunlight wil be 
reflected from his face to others and thus lighten the 
way. If, however, one be pessimistic and hav clouds 
within, those clouds often thro a pall over those with 
whom they cum in contact. Those who ar taking care 

one hundred twenty-three 



of the sick or afflicted should be optimistic and cheerful 
in order that they may shed sunshine upon the patient.

Inasmuch as many physicians hav adopted my 
Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diagnosis (B-D-C 
sistem), and becaus many magazines hav publisht 
accounts of it, it might be of interest to my readers to kno 
just what it means. 

The word Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic cums from the 
Greek words Bios, meaning life; Dynamis, meaning 
force; Chroma, meaning color. Therefore it signifies the 
aplication of fisical forces thru the living body, as 
interpreted by colors. 

We all kno that the magnetic needl is held in its 
position by means of sum unseen force. Years ago I con- 
cluded that it was this same force that enabld 
the carrier pigeon to find its way home. I 
found if the pigeon had tuberculosis, it could 
not find its way home. I later found that all 
birds wer affected in the same manner. 

I also discoverd that the tension of the 
blood vessels was different when a person 
faced east or west in a dark room than when 
he faced north or south, provided he wer not 
suffering from any diseas or toxemia. On the 
contrary , if he wer suffering from any toxemia 
the magnetic-meridian energy would hav no 
effect upon the blood vessels. 
I then lernd that radiating light thru a certain color 
would caus the blood vessels to hav a "normal" tension 




Figure 77 



one hundred twenty-five 



when a person faced from east or west to north or south, 
if he wer suffering with tuberculosis. I later found that 
another color would produce the same result in a person 




Figure 78 

having cancer, another for sifilis, and so on. At the 
present time I am abl to distinguish any toxemia by this 
method, becaus only one color vibration wil temporarily 
normalize an abnormal condition in a person, and by kno- 
ing what color temporarily normalizes any given diseas 



one hundred twenty-six 



one is abl to determin just what the diseas is by folloing 
out a certain tecnic. 

This method can be used not only for diagnosing 
diseas, but it is being used very successfully as an adjunct 
in treating diseas (Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Therapy).

Inasmuch as so many of the leading magazines hav 
spoken of my work under the term of Condenst Out-of- 
Doors Treatment, I hav adopted it as a general term 
covering the methods I use and teach to physicians. 

The term includes exercizes, hygien and dietetics as 
outlined in this book. In addition, it includes treatment 
by powerful incandescent lamps, actinic rays, color, 
oxigen vapor, spinal manipulation, vibration, etc.

We all kno that sunlight is Nature's remedy, but we 
cannot all get pure sunlight. It can be had only at hy 
altitudes above the dust that circulates in the air. 

Forty years ago I began develop- 
ing a sistem of powerful light therapy 
and used sum of the first filament 
lamps made by suspending them under 
a new, bright dishpan. I also bilt the 
first electric-light-bath cabinet, con- 
structing it from a barrel. This be- 
ginning of electric-light therapy is 
illustrated in Fig. 79. 

Fig. 81 represents the very latest 
radiant-light-treatment lamp and bath 
cabinet that I hav been interested in 
developing. They ar known as the 
Bur dick Deep-Therapy Lamp and the 
Burdick Electric-Light-Bath Cabinet. 

Fig. 82 shows three of these won- 
derful lamps radiating their powerful 
rays from specially bilt globes on a 
patient lying on a tilted tabl. The tabl 
being tilted in this manner allows grav- 
itation to aid in reducing congestion in

extremities,

sunlight" but gravitation in producing relaxation and 
equalizing pressures within the body. 

Fig. 83 shows a patient on a flat tabl 
with five of the powerful deep-therapy 
lamps radiating light 
over him. The bare body 
exposed to the air can 
stand an almost unbeliev- 
abl amount of light on it 
and remarkabl results ar 
obtaind therefrom. 

The light from these 
lamps penetrates the 
Figure 80 whole body and powerful 

light is the most wonderful agency for 
rectifying faulty nutrition and oyercum- 
ming anemia, tuberculosis and all 
manner of diseases. It is in reality the 
natural way. 

Fig. 80 illustrates a baby being 
treated by one of these powerful deep 
therapy lamps. 

Actinic rays, or ultra-violet 
fays, from mercury-vapor lamps 
represent the chemical rays in 
sunlight that wil not pas thru 
glas. 

These actinic rays ar pro- 
duced by the vapor of boiling 
mercury inside of quartz tubes. 
The development and use of 
such lamps has markt a new era 

in Light Vibratology. _ « ,„ _ _ 

Fig. 84 represents the " ■ ~ * ^ 

Hanovia "Alpine Sun?' Lamp Figure 81 

(quartz, mercury-vapor lamp), and Fig. 85 represents

the latest model of the Burdick Quartz Mercury-Vapor 
Lamp. 




Figure 82 

These lamps produce the most powerful rays that 
wil not pas thru glas, but wil pas thru quartz. The rays 




Figure 83 

from these lamps ar the ultra-violet rays which ar not to 
be confounded with the so-cald "violet rays." The latter 
hav no chemical value. They simply giv a purpl color 
and make the skin tingl. One must remember that the 

one hundred thirty-one 



true ultra-violet rays wil not pas thru glas to any apreciabl 
extent. 

In order that my readers may not be confused about 
these rays I do not use any of these "violet" terms. In 
describing my work with these rays I designate them as

actinic rays or actinic light from quartz, mercury-vapor

Actinic rays tan the skin as deeply as sunlight and 
produce wonderful results in nearly all cases of anemia,

The air in a room where a quartz, mercury-vapor 
lamp is burning is changed so as to be almost the same 
as the air on hy mountain peaks, and one can "smel" the 
light from these lamps and can liken it to the air folloing 
a thunder storm in the mountains.

Figure 85 

My method of using these quartz, mercury-vapor lamps 
is to combine their rays with the rays from the deep 
therapy lamps as illustrated in Fig. 86. This Fig. 86 
represents the very latest tecnic in utilizing all the rays 
that one would get from the sun in the open at hy

Color is universal and is the music of the universe. As 
such, it can bring joy or sadness to those who cum within 
its vibrations. Without color the monotony in Nature 
would be unbearabl. 

Color is another of Nature's therapeutic agencies, and 
it can be utilized in a most remarkabl manner in keeping 
a person wel or in restoring one to helth. 

There ar two distinctiv methods of obtaining the effects 
of color, one by mobil color, that is, by radiant light being 
past thru colord silk, parchment, glas or other media; 
and the other by colors being reflected from draperies, 
paper, ceilings, etc. 

Color Therapy occupies a very important place in 
modern natural therapy. 

OXIGEN VAPOR 

Oxigen Vapor 

The term, oxigen vapor, was first coind by me and used 
in my lectures and ritings to describe an oily vapor pro- 
duced from the pinus group of oils carrying availabl 
oxigen. 

Oxigen vapor is in no sense a drug or medicin. It is 
radically different from drugs in that it strikes to the very 
root of diseas in a perfectly rational and natural manner. 



one hundred thirty-six 




Oxigen vapor is a part of my Condenst Out-of-Doors 
sistem of treatment. 

u Go to the mountains" is often the advice 
given to patients who ar not "up to par," 
but this is more easily said than done. Not 
every one can leav business and home. 
Niether has every one the cash required to 
meet the expense of such traveling. 

"Mountain air" means clear, fresh air 
laden with oxigen that is easily taken up by 
the lungs. 

Oxigen vapor differs from mountain air 
mainly in the degree 
of strength. 

Oxigen vapor is 
generated by means 
of oxigen - vapor 
generators, one 
style of which is 
represented in Fig. 
90, and another in Fig. 91. 
Fig. 91. 

The oxigen vapor is produced 
by breaking the air up by means 
of a hy-frequency electrical cur- 
rent. This air is then drawn by 
the patient thru certain essential 
oils which wil take out the nitro- 
gen products in the air and let 
only the oxigen products pas 
thru. Thus the patient exercizes 
the lungs in drawing the air thru, 
and the air so drawn thru is whatthe blood requires. 

I usually giv oxigen-vapor treatments in connection with 
Intermittent Colord-Light treatment, as shown in the 
Figs. 90 and 91.

SPINAL REFLEXOLOGY 

Or Treatments Thru the Spine 

LAW OF JOINTS— McManis 

In the degree that the flexibility and activity of a joint 

(including spinal joints) falls belo normal, so wil the 

blood suply to that joint and adjacent tissues (including 

the segments of spinal cord in relation) be impaird. 

In addition to powerful Radiant-Light treatment, 
Color treatment and Oxi- 
gen-Vapor treatment, and 
other fisical modalities, I 
make use of one of the old- 
est methods of treatment 
known, namely, Spinal 
treatment. 

We ar more and more 
becumming aware of the 
fact that irritation of the 
nervs about the spine can Figure 92 

produce il effects in all parts of the body. Therefore one 
should never lose sight of the fact that treating the spine 

is of inestimabl value. 

Figs. 92 and 92a illus- 
trate the most effectual 
and modern methods of 
treating not only the spine, 
but the entire body by 
means of powerful rad- 
iant light and intermittent 
traction. 

The tabl represented in 

these illustrations is 

known as the Riesland 

Flgui ; e92a Therapeutic Traction 

Couch. It is electrically operated and givs rithmical 

traction to the spine in such a manner that only good 

effects can cum from it. 

Fig. 93 represents the McManis Traction and Spinal 




one hundred thirty-eight 




Treatment Tabl. It is the most elegant treatment tabl 

made. I use it in conjunction with powerful light. Fig. 

94 represents the McManis Treatment Stool. 

There ar many 
other tabls, stools, 
chairs and traction 
couches for treating 
the spine, but these 
represent their re- 
spectiv classes. 

A treatment device 
or exercizer that is in 
a clas entirely by it- 
self is represented in 
Fig. 95. This is 
known as the Mac 
Kinnon Exercizer. It 
can be used by the 

physician or by the patient. Many persons now hav these 

exercizers in their own homes for self-treatment. 
This exercizer, or 

therapeutic device, is 

made to fit the back in 

a most remarkabl 

manner and it is so 

constructed that when 

the person lies down in 

it, it wil wabl in one 

direction and then im- 
mediately right itself 

and go in the other 

direction. In so doing 

it stretches the spine 

and abdominal musls 

and exercizes the

soidal therapy, vibration, magnetic-wave therapy and 
galvanism ar used by the most up-to-date physicians in 
aiding Nature to reliev suffering. Sum of the devices and 
machines that I use ar shown in Figs. 96 to 103 inclusiv. 

THERAPEUTIC SPINAL CONCUSSION 

Vibracussion. 

Fig. 96 illustrates one of the many methods that I 

employ for treating the spine. This is termd Therapeutic 

Spinal Concussion, and is the 
most ancient of all methods for 
treating thru the spine. 

Fig. 97 illustrates a powerful 
vibrator with special spinal 
vibratode. By employing thera- 
peutic concussion along with vi- 
bration, I hav a modality (Fig. 
97) that I hav named Vibra- 
cussion. The term, Vibracussion is employd by musicians 
to designate the art of 
playing instruments that 
require a mallet, such as 
the xylofone, marimba, 
chimes, etc. I hav used the 
term Vibracussion to des- 
cribe the tecnic of using 
vibration and concussion 
in unison. This sistem, 
along with powerful rad- 
iant light, produces bene- 
ficial results that ar quite 
fenomenal. 

Oscillation is a peculiar 
form of vibration that 
treats the whole body and 
is of great benefit for 
reducing fat and general ^"tK/ ""' v Figure 97

stimulation. Fig. 98 represents the Vibrato-Masseur, one 
of the oscillators I use. (See Addenda.) 



PULSOIDAL THERAPY 

Years ago I discoverd that treating the body with 
rithmical pulsations — four times the 
respiration — by means of electricity, 
would produce marvelus results. t^ 

The modality I termd Pulsoidal Ther- 



Figure 98 





Figure 99 



apy becaus the correct rate 
of the pulse is four times 
the respiration. 

Fig. 99 shows how I 
treat the eyes and upper 
spine by this method. 

Fig. 100 shows how I 



treat and often cure, infantile

Fig. 101 shows how I treat 
other forms of paralisis by the

currents adapted to contract the 
musls four times during each 
respiration. 

Fig. 102 illustrates the use of 
the Pulsoidal Current and power- 
ful radiant light used together 
in treating thru the spine.

ARTIFICIAL MAGNETIC VIBRATOLOGY 

Artificial Magnetic Vibratology. 

I hav alredy mentiond the fact that natural magnetism 
has a decided action upon the human organism. This is 
shown in the develop- 
ment of my Bio-Dynamo- 
Chromatic method of 
diagnosis and therapy, 
grounding a person while 
sleeping, and the direc- 
tion of a person's hed 
while sleeping. 

Treating diseases by 
means of artificial mag- 
netic currents has been 
used for years with more 
or les benefit according 
to the apparatus used 
and tecnic employd. 

Fig. 103 represents 
the Bachelet Magnetic 
Wave Generator. This 




Figure 101 



is a wonderful apparatus and produces wonderful results 
for hy blood pressure, kidny diseases, and generally 
disturbd metabolism. 

CHIROPRACTIC 

Chiropractic is a term designating the treatment of 
the spine by means of the hands. The art has now been 
developt to such an extent that great good can be accom- 
plisht by it. 

In my book entitld "The Natural Way, Seventeenth 
Edition," I illustrate the treatment of the spine as I 
witnest it when only a child, and as taut by my first pre- 
ceptor in 1883. 

Treatment of the spine is one of the oldest methods 
of treatment known, and every physician should kno sum- 



one hundred forty-three 



thing about it, if he wishes to do all he can for his 
patients. 

OSTEOPATHY 

Osteopathy is another sistem for treating the spine 
and bony joints. There is much good in it and Figs. 
93 and 94 sho sum methods of giving osteopathic 
treatment. 

This also is a modality that physicians should kno 
sumthing about in order to do all that can be done for 
their patients. 

True physicians wil not hesitate to use any method or 
adjunct that wil he of benefit to their patients. 

OBSERVATIONS 

My readers wil see that I believ diet, exercizes and 
hygien as outlined in this book ar of the first importance 

in treatment, and in near- 
ly every case they wil 
prevent diseas as wel as 
cure it. There ar, how- 
ever, instances when aux- 
iliary mesures ar needed 
and I believ the best ar 
those alredy cited. 

There ar sum con- 
ditions that I wish to lay 
special stres on, and first 
ar diseases of the digestiv 
tract, especially diseases 
of the stoma c and 
bowels. My observation as a general diagnostician has 
taut me that the majority of all diseases outside of 
venereal diseases ar due to derangements in the digestiv 
tract. Therefore I want to call attention again to the 
importance of the exercizes illustrated in Figs. 1 to 10, 
but especially the exercizes shown in Figs. 1 and 3. 




Figure 102 



one hundred forty-four 



Sum of the worst cases of stomac diseases that I hav 
ever had to treat hav been helpt more by these two exer- 
cizes than by any others. 

The number of meals a day is a mooted question, but 
from my experience I believ two tablspooniuls of food 
of the right kind, taken every two hours if possibl, wil rec- 
tify sum of the most severe cases of catar of the stomac. 
Eating only one meal a day at nite is entirely rong becaus 
the patient is sure to eat too much. Overeating at a singl 
meal is probably one of the primary causes of stomac 
catar as wel as catar of the intestins. 




I hav had many patients who had followd the "no- 
brekfast" plan and the "one-meal-a-day" plan, but they 
became worse all the time. I was abl to cure them very 
soon by having them eat not more than two tablspoonfuls 
of food every two hours. 

If a person wil eat only a small amount once or twice 
a day, that is one thing, but I never hav found anyone 
who wil do that. It is alright in theory but not in practis. 



one hundred forty- five 



I hav not said much about the use of popcorn in this 
book, but fresh popcorn without any dressing, if taken 
in small amounts (one or two tablspoonfuls every hour), 
wil often cure cases of nervus dispepsia, burning in the 
stomac, and bloating causd by gas. 

For seasickness, or the nausea of pregnancy, popcorn 
used in this manner is almost specific. I hav the patients 
keep a box right by the side of the bed and take a small 
handful and chew thoroly and slowly before they attempt 
to get up. 

It is unnatural to eat by the clock, but custom seems 
to make it imperativ. 

Small amounts at a meal is the keynote, and by a small 
amount I mean two tablspoonfuls of raw food, as out- 
lined in this book. This method is for remedying the 
malcondition. 

For those who ar not suffering from any stomac trubl, 
eating three times a day, as outlined in this book, and 
eating only a moderate amount, is probably the best plan 
becaus of habit and general conditions — not becaus it is 
natural. 

In all the conditions named, I giv one general set of 
directions which aply to each of the conditions named 
unless otherwize specified. 

Omit all tea, coffee, chocolate and coco. 

Eat nothing made from white flour. 

Eat no unnatural sweets, especially refined sugar. 

Do not eat meat — this does not refer to fish. 

Do not eat or drink anything with glucose or sac- 
carin in it. 

Do not eat mushes. 

Do not take anything made from coal tar. This espe- 
cially aplies to asperin and all of the drugs of a similar 
formula under different names. 

Do not use tobacco in any form. 

Do not use cigarets. 

Do not use any narcotics. 

one hundred forty-six 



Do not use any vaccins, serums or "intra-venus" 
medication. None of them ar necessary and none of 
them do any good in the long run. If they apparently 
help one condition, they wil create another condition 
that is worse. They ar entirely unnatural. 

Do not be afraid of catching any diseas. Fear is the 
worst dis-eas of all. 

Eat only one-fifth as much as yu think yu need. 

Exercize regularly and sistematically. 

Be happy that yu don't hav so much trubl as sum other 
fello. 

As much as possibl, adhere to a raw diet. 

Do not eat yeastcakes. Yeastcake dispepsia is alredy 
here. 



Under the old sistem of arranged diet, sientists classified food into 
protein, carbo-hydrates, fats and mineral salts, but they faild to em- 
fasize the fact that the salts must be in natural combination (vitamins) 
or the life-sustaining property of the food would be nil. 



The value of citrus fruits lies not so much in the amount of proteid, 
carbo-hydrates, fats and mineral salts containd therein, as in the effect 
they hav upon the general nutrition or metabolism of the person 
partaking of them. 



The value of food cannot be mesured by "calories" but by its 
general effect upon metabolism. Often food of very lo "calorie value" 
is most essential and beneficial in sustaining life. 



The real life in raw food can never be analyzd becaus the life 
element is destroyd by analisis or heat.

MEDICINAL REMEDIES 

Altho I believ in natural methods in preventing and 
treating all diseases, I would not clas a naturopath as a 
"drugless" physician becaus foods ar drugs if used as 
remedial agents. The word "drug" in a broad sense 
means remedy, therefore a drug does not necessarily hav 
to be a dope. 

Sum medicins I hav used becaus experience has taut 
me that they helpt in the correcting of injury. Sum 
remedies act like a crutch in aiding Nature.

One of the remedies that I hav found very efficient, 
if taken in the exact manner that I shal outline, is Iodin. 
This remedy I find beneficial in nearly all diseases of the 
respiratory tract such as catarral conditions, bronchitis, 
laryngitis, neumonia, tuberculosis, and sum forms of 
anemia. 

Iodin as wel as sulfur is very beneficial in nearly all 
skin diseases. The form of Iodin I use is known as "sol- 
ubl iodin." That prepared by the Keysall Chemical 
Company, Kansas City, Mo., and that by Burnham 
Solubl Iodin Co. of Auburndale, Mass., ar two standard 
preparations, altho there ar many others that ar probably 
just as good. 

I begin with one drop and work up to five for a 
five-year-old child, and for a fifteen-year-old child I work 
up to ten drops. For one past twenty years of age I 
would work up to twenty drops three times a day. 

The method is as folios : 

Begin with one drop, two drops or three drops, 
depending upon the age of the patient, giving it in a 
littl water three times a day two hours before or after 
any meal in which there is starch. 

Increas this dose one drop a day until the maximum 
amount is reacht. For exampl, three drops three times a 
day the first day; four drops three times a day the second 

one hundred forty-eight 



day; five drops three times a day the third day and so on. 

After the maximum amount is reacht, continue with 
that maximum dose three weeks, after which skip three 
days, giving none at all, and begin at the minimum dose 
and work up again. Repeat this schedule as long as it 
proves beneficial. 

Iodin can also be given thru the skin by using what is 
known as "Stainless Iodin/' which is iodin sublimed in an 
oil base. That sold under the trade name of Iodex, I 
hav found to be perfect. 

Sulfur Therapy. 

I do not hav much faith in giving sulfur internally, 
but I hav faith in giving it thru the soles of the feet. I 
use it in many skin diseases, especially those that hav a 
burning sensation like eczema. 

My plan of using it is to take the flowers of sulfur or 
precipitated sulfur, put it into a pepper shaker, and shake 
it into the bottom of the shoes every morning before 
putting the shoes on. Within two or three weeks sulfur so 
used wil saturate the body so that if one wears any gold or 
silver it wil turn black. 

The bowels should be kept wel opend with senna 
prunes or sumthing else while using sulfur in this manner. 

Podofillin, Mandrake or May Apl. 

This is often very useful for treating torpidity of the 
liver. I find that prepared in one-sixth grain granules 
by Abbott Alkaloidal Co., of Chicago, 111., is very 
effectual. 

My plan of using it is to giv one one-sixth grain granule 
after each meal for two or three days, or to giv two 
after each meal for a few days until the bowels ar quite 
loose, and then stop. 

In sum cases of habitual torpidity of the liver, it is 
often wel to take podofillin pils, one or two after each 
meal, one or two days of each week, until the condition 
is relievd.

CLASSIFIED INFORMATION 

Abortion. 

The word abortion signifies the premature stoppage 
of a morbid or natural process, but as used here, it 
refers to the expulsion of the fetus before maturity. 

Many women, becaus of sum weakness in the pelvic 
organs, ar unabl to carry the fetus to maturity. If, how- 
ever, they carry out the diet and exercizes as outlined in 
this book, they wil hardly ever hav any trubl. 

Walking on-all-fours. is one of the very best procedures 
for preventing abortion. 

Riding horseback or riding in an automobile over ruf 
roads, if the springs ar not very easy, jumping, lifting 
hevy weights, etc., tend toward the premature birth of 
the fetus, if the pelvic organs ar not strong. 

Treatments that shake the body a great deal, or stretch 
the spine, or stimulate the lower part of the spine, ar 
all liabl to produce abortion and therefore ar contra- 
indicated for pregnant women or those who wish to 
becum pregnant. 

Acne (Pimpls, Blackheds) 

Acne is so common among yung peopl that they often 
neglect it until their face, neck and sholders ar scard 
for life. 

Acne is not a natural condition of adolescence. It cums 
entirely from errors in diet and hygien. No medicin can 
cure acne. It is not a diseas, but a simptom of a/ disturbd 
metabolism — that is, for sum reason or other the food 
is not properly assimilated. 

Nervus conditions may so derange the digestiv appa- 
ratus that it does not work properly, or the food may 
be rongly prepared and combined. 

one hundrey fifty 



Eat only a moderate amount of sweet fruits and starch 
foods. Eat acid fruits for brekfast, green salad herbs 
for one meal, and a moderate amount of legumes or other 
starchy foods for the other meal. 

Egs, milk, and fish ar contra-indicated. 

Scrubbing the skin with soap and water often makes 
acne worse. It is best to thoroly wash the skin with hot 
water and then with cold water. 

If the acne be very bad, a good poultis put on every 
nite is beneficial. 

Do not use greasy salvs or ointments. The best treat- 
ment is powerful radiant light, including the actinic rays 
from a quartz mercury-vapor lamp. (The quartz mer- 
cury-vapor lamp givs ultra-violet rays. Do not confuse 
this with "Violet rays." "Violet rays" mean nothing but 
rays from a high-frequency tube or a colord light. They 
hav no special beneficial effect. Ultra-violet rays ar pro- 
duced by boiling mercury and wil not pas thru glas. There- 
fore they ar generated within quartz tubes. Such lamps ar 
very expensiv and can be used only by those who hav 
been traind, so ar not suitabl for home use. Arc lamps 
also produce ultra-violet rays.) 

There ar many advertizments of "violet-ray" lamps 
to be used for acne, but these lamps ar only a cheap form 
of glas vacuum tube which carries a hy-frequency cur- 
rent generated in a littl coil in a box that goes with the 
outfit. These rays hav no special therapeutic value. 

Very often acne in yung girls signifies sum trubl with 
the pelvic organs, iether organic or functional. If the 
menses ar irregular or delayd, that condition should be 
taken care of. (See Menses.) 

Acne in boys or yung men often means a sexual 
neurosis. This should also be attended to in the proper 
manner. (See Sexual Disorders.) 

Adenoids 

I do not believ any child or adult would hav an excess 
of adenoid tissue if they breathd thru the nose and livd 

one hundred fifty-one 



properly. Surgical removal of the adenoids is very rarely 
necessary. If parents knew how important it is to hav 
their babies breathe thru the nose, there would probably 
be no excessiv adenoid tissue in their children's breathing 
passages. In fact, I hav never seen excessiv adenoids in 
a child that breathd thru its nose and was fed properly. 

Artificial feeding, especially of prepared foods which 
hav been denatured, is very often responsibl for adenoids. 
Sweetend condenst milk is often the caus. Feed the child 
on fruit juices and vegetabl juices insted of cereals and 
artificial food, including animals' milk, if it cannot hav 
its mother's milk. 

Adenoids ar often causd by allowing a baby to chew 
a ring or suck a, "comforter" or the thums or fingers. 

"Adenoids" in an adult usually hav to be removed 
surgically. "Adenoids" wil return unles the habits ar 
alterd. 
Adhesions 

Adhesions ar usually the results of operations but they 
might be the result of burns or other injuries. 

The best way to stretch them out is by massage, using 
a paraffin oil to lubricate the parts that ar being massaged. 

Powerful radiant light also is of great benefit in reliev- 
ing adhesions, and it is often very advantageus to use 
massage along with the powerful radiant light. 

Often vibration, carefully aplied, wil reliev adhesions. 

If a person has to hav an abdominal operation per- 
formd, they should insist upon having sterilized oliv oil 
put into the abdomen just before the final closing up is 
done, and then after the operation is completed the body 
should be turnd every fifteen to thirty minits for at least 
forty-eight hours, so as to keep the oil moving about the 
intestins. This wil do more to prevent adhesions after 
an abdominal operation than any other procedure. 

Alcoholism. 

One would not expect that physicians would be cald 
upon to treat alcoholism in a cuntry that has "gon dry," 

one hundred fifty-two 



but those who hav the ''alcoholic thirst" get sum kind of 
alcoholic drink that produces alcoholism. 

The best way to treat alcoholism is the same as I 
advize for any drug habit, namely, abstain from the use 
of the drug or drink. Instruct the patient to drink quan- 
tities of water whenever they feel the unnatural thirst 
or the craving for the drug. Chewing dried lemon peel, 
swalloing the juice and spitting out the residue, is a great 
aid in curing alcoholism as wel as any drug habit. 

If ever a raw diet as outlined in this book is indicated 
as a curativ mesure, it is indicated in treating alcoholism 
or any drug habit. 

Alopecia (Baldness, Los of Hair) 

Probably excessiv wetting of the hair is the caus of its 
los with the majority of peopl. I hav often notist that 
peopl who seldom washt their hair had very hevy 
hair. Men who continually scrub their heds ar usually 
bald. 

Women who greas their hair continually ar usually 
bald. 

Wearing a tight hat appears to hav a tendency to make 
a person bald. It would be better to not wear a hat. 
Peopl wear them becaus of fashion more than for any- 
thing else. 

To make the hair gro, I believ thoroly massaging the 
scalp every day is of great benefit. 

If a person has a dry scalp, massaging with a small 
amount of yello vaselin every day is often beneficial. 

The use of alcoholic preparations on the scalp, altho 
they wil sumtimes clean the dandruf off, wil never cure it. 

Sumtimes thoroly massaging the scalp with vaselin wil 
remove all the dandruf, and it can often be kept free from 
dandruf in this manner. 

Scrubbing the dandruf off with soap and water wil 
make all the more cum. 

A hard brush or a wire brush is sure to make the 
hair fall. 

one hundred fifty-three 



The use of powerful radiant light and actinic rays 
along with careful and sistematic massage of the scalp 
is often very beneficial in making the hair gro. 

If yung peopl knew how to liv properly and take proper 
care of their hair, there would be no bald heds to treat. 
(See Personal Hygien, p. 36.) 

Amenorrea (Delay or Cessation of Menses) 

There ar many methods of helping this condition, such 
as exercizes and hygienic and therapeutic procedures. 

An over-fat girl wil often be subject to amenorrea, and 
the first procedure is to reduce the diet and reduce the fat. 

An anemic girl is often trubld with amenorrea and in 
that instance proper eating of raw foods, especially the 
salad herbs, is of paramout importance. 

Hot sitz baths ar of great value if used just about 
twenty-eight days after the beginning of the last men- 
strual flo. Electric-light sitz baths ar far superior to the 
wet sitz baths. (See Fig. 89.) 

Soaking the feet in hot mustard water is also often of 
great benefit. 

Relieving constipation and producing a looseness of 
the bowels wil often overcum the cessation of the menses. 

Stimulating the uterus thru the vagina or thru the rec- 
tum is often very beneficial in bringing on the menses. 
This should be done only by a traind physician. 

Hot vaginal douches of a normal salt solution (tea- 
spoonful of common salt to the pint of water) is often 
very beneficial in producing the menstrual flo. 

Manipulation of the spine, either osteopathically or 
chiropractically, works wonders, if properly performd. 

Powerful radiant light, along with traction (especially 
if the traction be intermittent) is probably the best pro- 
cedure of all. 

If the cessation of the menses appears to be the be- 
ginning of "the change'* (menopause or climacteric), 
or is causd by pregnancy, then traction of the spine is 
contra-indicated.

Anemia 

Raw diet, especially of the green salad herbs, is with- 
out dout the first and best remedy for this condition. 

Sunlight, fresh air, and having the whole body bare 
in the sunlight as much as possibl, ar of great value in this 
condition. 

Powerful radiant light and actinic rays ar the best 
auxiliary treatments. 

There ar really no medicins that ar of any use for 
anemia for the reason that the blood wil not take up in- 
organic minerals or insolubl salts. It wil, however, take 
up the organic iron found so plentifully in raw alfalfa 
and red clover, spinach, watercres, dandelion, plantain, 
many of the flowers, and lettis. 

Aneurism 

Inasmuch as aneurism is a dilation of a blood vessel, 
the les work the vessel has to do, the better. Conse- 
quently the amount of liquids should be immediately cut 
down to a minimum, and other exertion of the hart should 
be avoided. 

This is another condition in which a raw diet has a 
very peculiar action, becaus it helps strengthen the blood 
vessels. 

Appendicitis 

What used to be colic is now cald appendicitis, and 
probably the majority of cases of appendicitis ar nothing 
more nor les than gas in the cecum or impaction of fecal 
matter in the cecum. 

Many cases of ordinary colic, or wind in the large in- 
testins, ar diagnosed as appendicitis. 

The only preventiv and cure for such a condition is 
regulating the diet. Probably a tablspoonful of mineral 
oil ( paraffin oil) two or three times a day is a help until 
the soreness of the bowel is relievd. Then oliv oil along 
with a raw diet wil produce wonderful results. 

one hundred fifty- five 



The treatment for true appendicitis or colic is power- 
ful radiant light. If a person cannot obtain that, hot apli- 
cations, hot fomentations, or stupes of varius kinds ar 
to be recommended. A teaspoonful of turpentine to the 
quart of hot water makes a turpentine stupe, but I believ 
the eucaliptus-oil stupe is better. That is made by adding 
a teaspoonful of oil of eucaliptus to the quart of hot 
water. Many other oils can be used, such as oil of pepper- 
mint, oil of wintergreen, oil of sassafras, etc. 

Avoid cold aplications in all inflammatory conditions 
of the abdomen. The only instance in which I would 
advize cold aplications across the abdomen would be 
where a fever had reacht 105° F., or over, and could 
not be brot down by enemas or other procedures. Then 
sumtimes an ice bag is the only emergency treatment for 
preventing deth. 

Arteriosclerosis (Hardening of the Arteries) 

This condition can be so permanently relievd by means 
of the diet outlined in this book that it seems a pity so 
many persons hav to die becaus of hardening of the 
arteries. 

Until the hardness of the arteries has been overcum 
to sum extent, one must be very careful about taking much 
liquid into the sistem, and should avoid violent exercize. 

In arteriosclerosis the arteries can be likend to an old 
rubber tube, and bending them or putting undue stres on 
them is liabl to break them and caus not only apoplexy, 
but many other conditions such as abscesses within the 
body. 

Powerful radiant light and the magnetic-wave current 
ar of inestimabl value in the treatment of this condition. 

Arthritis Deformans or Reumatoid Arthritis 

This condition is causd by deposits in the joints and 
is brot about by errors in diet or a deranged metabolism. 
Overwork, or worry, wil produce the same condition. 

one hundred fifty-six 



Regulating the diet is the first procedure and then the 
aplication of heat in the way of radiant light if possibl. 
If not, hot fomentations ar of great benefit. 

Do not hav the teeth extracted to overcum the condi- 
tion, and do not hav different organs in the body removed 
to overcum it, becaus the second condition wil be a great 
deal worse than the first. 

A hot, dry climate is often a great aid in remedying 
this condition. 

Asthma 

This condition is best handld by diet and breathing 
exercizes. If one wil folio out the instructions given in 
this book for breathing, it wil prevent asthma and do 
more toward curing it than any other procedure. Use 
the spirometer daily and watch the output of air. 

Neck exercizes, as outlined, ar of great value in this 
condition. 

Oxigen vapor is also of great value. 

Powerful radiant light wil often do a great deal in 
relieving this condition. 



SUCCESS 



Kno this, my frend, that true success means more 
Than riches or a wide, impotent store 
Of goods laid up. Nay, rather, these ar lures 
Which dul the mind, whose store alone endures. 

No worlds hav power to either make or mar, 
What we hav made of Life is what we ar. 
And true success cums not until the soul 
Seeks God and finds in Him its highest goal. 

—Elizabeth Boreno.

BABY FEEDING AND CARE 

As I hav previusly mentiond, the statistics sho that 
over 250,000 babies under one year of age died in this 
cuntry during 1920. Inasmuch as the majority of babies 
ar wel born, it shows that there is sumthing radically 
rong in the way they hav been cared for after birth. 

I think the notion that mothers hav of having a fat 
baby is responsibl for much of the baby mortality. Fat 
doesn't mean helth, and the sooner that is imprest upon 
our minds, the better. Sum of the fattest babies I hav 
even seen hav died before they wer a year old, while the 
thin ones that had a good clench to the fist would liv 
thru thick and thin and gro to be strong, sturdy children. 
The fat, flabby babies liv in spite of their condition, not 
becaus of it. 

The over-clothing of infants is another caus for the 
hevy mortality. In warm wether it would be better if 
they had nothing on, and when in a warm room they 
should hav as littl on as possibl. When they ar taken out 
of doors in cold wether is time enuf to wrap them up. 



one hundred fifty-eight 



Laying babies on their backs is an unnatural custom. 
They should be laid on their faces, on a hard cush- 
ion — never on fethers. There is no danger of their 
smothering any more than a kitten would smother. If a 
kitten or puppy or any of the animals wer kept on their 
backs, they would not long survive. The natural position 
for a baby is on its abdomen. If reard in this manner, 
before they ar very old they wil begin lifting themselvs 
on their hands and get into the all-fours position, which is 
the natural position. They wil cultivate deep breathing 
and better musls faster if laid on the abdomen than in 
any other manner. 

Children should be kept creeping on-all-fours as long 
as possibl. Sum unfortunate children hav sagging of 
the stomac and intestins before they ar ten years old. 
Such children ar often pot-bellied. Teach the child to 
walk on-all-fours a great deal even after they begin to 
walk. Walking on-all-fours is one of the best exercizes 
for grown-ups as wel. 

(As before stated, if the pregnant mother wil walk 
on-all-fours, she wil hav an easier labor and a helthier 
child. Another point I wish to mention here is about the 
position of the mother during delivery. Lying on the 
back is rong and delivery would be easier and more nat- 
ural if the woman took the hands-and-nees position.) 

A baby wil hardly ever be constipated if taut to be 
on-all-fours a good deal. The abdominal musls becum 
stronger. 

A baby should be taut to strain at stool insted of sitting 
the same as on a chair. Having a child assume a squat- 
ting position or drawing the nees up close to the abdomen 
while at stool is another method of keeping them from 
becumming constipated. 

Owing to the way we hav been traind, a child should 
be put to stool at regular hours every day. If its bowels 
move two or three times during the day it is not too 
much. If a child went naked and walkt around on-all- 

one hundred fifty-nine 



fours, just the motion alone would caus its bowels to 
move several times a day. 

In this connection, I should like to quote from that 
widely experienst, progressiv physician, Dr. Charles E. 
Page of Boston from Clinical Medicine of March, 1921. 

"1. Place the new-born baby right side up a la kittens 
and puppies. 

2. Keep him naked part of the time, and in light drap- 
ery all the time in warm rooms and in warm wether so 
that the skin may hav a chance to breathe. 

3. Feed abundantly but not to excess. Never force or 
tempt the appetite. Giv the brest or other food only 
when baby is manifestly hungry. 

4. Beware of fattening. Surplus fat is a handicap and 
a threat for disaster. 

5. Keep him creeping as long as possibl and discourage 
his tendency to walk on his hind legs. The parents may 
wel set the exampl by crawling with him themselvs on 
hands and toes, to their benefit as advocated by wel- 
informd biologists and sientists at home and abroad. 

In addition to all this, we may wel urge the importance 
of the right position of the mother at birth, namely, on 
her nees instead of on her back, a plan that would giv 
her as fair a chance to empty the uterus as the bladder or 
bowels. This would tend to make every birth virtually 
safe and painless; with better results for both mother and 
child. Thruout the period of pregnancy the prospectiv 
mother should liv activly and hav regard for the advice 
above mentiond." 

I am often askt just how I feed infants that a<r 
so unfortunate as to not be abl to nurse. In the first place, 
I do not feed them nites, but begin feeding erly in the 
morning orange juice, about a tablspoonful to a feeding. 
I feed every hour if the child shows inclination for it. 

About ten o'clock I giv it juice from dried prunes, 
dates, figs, or raisins, or from all mixt, after having been 

one hundred sixty 



soakt in water over nite. Alternate with the juice 
from the green salads such as spinach, lettis, celery, 
dandelion or any of the garden herbs. The juice from 
these herbs can be given in amounts of one tablspoonful 
and can be given at the same feeding as the juice from 
the sweet fruits. 

In the afternoon I giv the juice from raw carrots, 
beets, turnips, potatoes, or any of the vegetabls. 
These juices can be given in feedings of one tablspoonful, 
and if the baby cald for it, feed every hour. These feed- 
ings should continue until about seven o'clock when the 
baby should be put to bed, and if properly traind it wil 
sleep until morning. Sum who ar folloing out this method 
of feeding giv the first feeding at four o'clock in the 
morning. 

No salt or anything else is added to the feedings. 

Until a mother has brot up one child in this manner, 
she can hav no idea of how strong and helthy and cold- 
resisting a baby wil be. 

All the vitamins and the strength and bone-giving ele- 
ments ar in these raw foods. 

They should be warmd to the temperature of the body 
before feeding, especially in cold wether. A child's 
stomac wil not act naturally if chilld. 

As soon as the child has teeth, or even a littl before, 
it can begin chewing on grated vegetabls and such dried 
fruits as prunes, raisins, dates and figs. 

The utensils illustrated in this book can be used for 
preparing the juices of natural foods. (See page 88.) 

Should the baby ever hav diarrea (which wil hardly 
ever happen), the orange juice and prune juice can be 
omitted for two or three days and water given in which 
ground roasted grains such as barly, ry, etc., hav been 
soakt. Roasted grains hav a tendency toward constipa- 
tion and can be used as a remedy for diarrea. For an 
infant they should be ground, roasted and soakt. The 

one hundred sixty-one 



grinding can be done in a mil like that shown on page 88, 
and the roasting can be done in a pan in the oven. 

When other things cannot be obtaind, lemonizd milk 
can be fed to a baby and their littl stomacs nearly always 
tolerate it. Sientifically sourd milk we hav used for years 
as part of an infant's diet: when vegetabls and fruit juices 
could not be redily obtaind. 

Never feed a child egs or fish. Bring a child up to 
its teens without any animal food unless it be sourd milk, 
sourd as above mentiond. 

The genitals and the anus in both male and female 
babies should be carefully inspected and made right, if 
they ar not right, before the child is a month old. 

I always advize physicians to dilate the vagina of every 
girl baby before it is a year old and often before it is a 
month old. It can be very redily done by means of a 
small blunt instrument wel lubricated with oliv oil. 

The clitoris should also be wel lookt after to see that 
it is in normal condition. Many children ar made nervus 
by abnormalities or congestion about the genitals. Con- 
vulsions ar often causd by these abnormalities. 

Every boy baby should be circumcized before he is a 
month old. Don't say it is an unnatural procedure. 
Wearing clothes is an unnatural procedure. 

Don't frighten the child. 

Don't let fear start to gro in the littl ones. Teach them 
to laf at "germs" and to ignore all germ-scares. 

Never allow them to be vaccinated.

EXCESSIV FEEDING THE CAUS OF THE HY 
PERCENTAGE OF INFANT MORTALITY* 

Statistics sho that nearly one-third of all deths ar of 
infants under one year. All animals rear their yung with 
an almost unvarying certainty of their arriving at matur- 
ity without sickness of any sort. The yung of man, only, 
ar doomd to run the gauntlet of cruel and needless suffer- 
ing of which but few more than half their number escape 
to reach adult age; while as said above, nearly one-third 
of all infants succumb the first year; and few of the 
remaining two-thirds escape a severe sickness, and about 
ten percent, more die before reaching two years of age. 

The infant deth rate in New York City, "our great 
medical center," for the first quarter of this year (1917) 
was 3117; and in that city about fifty percent, of the total 
deths occur under the age of five years. Nature did not 
intend that these littl ones should suffer and die any more 
than she did the yung of the "brute" creation. 

Dr. Charles Gilmore Kerley, Professor of diseases of 
children in the New York Polyclinic Medical School, 
recommends for a child under six weeks of age, nine 
ounces of milk, twenty-seven ounces of barley water, four 
teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar; given two to three 
ounces at two-and-one-quarter-hour intervals; nine feed- 
ings in twenty-four hours. Consider that Prof. Kerley's 
six-weeks' baby weighs ten pounds, and consider the needs 
of a working man to be equal in proportion to weight. 
A man weighing one hundred and fifty pounds should take 
fifteen times the quantity swallowd by the infant, or 
twenty-two and one half quarts — a quart for nearly 
every hour of the day and nite, or allowing nine hours 

♦This paper I am reprinting in ful. It was ritten and red by J. B. 
McMahon, M. D. of Louisiana but now of Los Angeles, Calif. It was 
red before the Beauregard Parish Medical Society June 17, 1917, and 
printed in the New Orleans Medical and Surgical Journal of Februrary 
1918. It coincides almost exactly with my opinion and my findings, 
altho I hav lernd from experience and observation that very small 
feedings quite often is the natural way.

for sleep, then during each of the fifteen waking hours, 
he must swallo three pints of milk. It can redily be seen 
that the quantity is several times what could properly be 
taken in iether case. 

As has been indicated, the chief caus of infant mortality 
is excessiv feeding. 

From time immemorial the one great anxiety has been 
to keep the littl darlings ful of sumthing from the time 
they cum into the world until their littl bodies ar carrid 
to the grave ; or, by strange good luck, they survive until 
they reach the age of five years, when they ar fed on 
sumthing like the "three-meal sistem," and as a result 
comparativly few die between five and twenty years of 
age. 

In spite of these figures, or becaus their significance has 
not been observd, it has not occurd to the peopl and to but 
few doctors to begin with les meals — les food. 

Dr. Page of Boston, in 1879 adopted the "three-meal 
sistem" of feeding his own child from the date of its birth, 
and she grew to be a helthy, wel-developt child; and at 
four months sat up erect on the floor without . support. 

A wel-fed babe should be comfortabl, happy, thriving, 
with wel-rounded body and lims, as they usually ar when 
they ar born, and not gross with fat; wheezing, stuft with 
so-cald colds, with sneezing and nose running, which is 
only an effort of Nature to reliev the clogd condition of 
the sistem produced by excessiv feeding. 

My observation has led me to believ that too much 
and too frequent feeding is the caus of a vast majority 
of gastro-intestinal diseases, insted of the "quality of 
the milk" as is usually held to be the caus. One caus of 
excessiv feeding is the desire of the parents to hav a fat 
baby, and to be abl to say that it gains a pound a week, 
entirely ignorant of the normal growth of an infant from 
birth. 

During the nine months of fetal growth, the increas, 
except in monstrosities, is about one-third of an ounce a 

one hundred sixty-four 



day, or two and one-half ounces a week. Why should it 
be rational for this natural ratio to be increast six or seven 
hundred percent, directly after birth? 

Becaus of the irrational, forst feeding during the first 
few months, the usual weight of the shockingly lo 
percent, of the littl ones, who hav survived this unnatural 
dietary, is much les at five years than if the age of 
prenatal growth had been continued thruout these years. 

Nature did not intend that a baby's stomac should be 
treated like a toy baloon, nor that a baby should suffer 
any more inconvenience from cutting teeth than the 
puppy, calf, or colt, but it is the popular idea that when 
an infant begins to teeth it is peculiarly liabl to intestinal 
trubl. In no sense is sickness an incident of the natural 
process of teething. 

It is simply coincident and arizes from the fact that it 
is at this age that the sistem begins to break down under 
the excessiv labor imposed upon the organs of digestion, 
assimilation, and excretion. 

When I am cald to a case of summer diarrea, I stop 
all feeding for twenty-four hours or longer, with the 
exception of a littl fruit juice occasionally, thereby giving 
the stomac a rest and Nature a chance to eliminate the 
pathological condition, and then, if I can succede in 
having the littl patient properly nourisht, it soon recovers 
with very littl, if any, medication. 



Never feed a baby lying flat. The baby-"stomac" 
a tube. The accompanying 
illustration shows correct 
position for feeding a baby.

BIRTH CONTROL 

Observers and statisticians tel us that not more than 
10% of all children born ar "prayd for." If this be true, 
it is no wonder that we hav periodical states of unrest 
leading to murders and wars. 

With every other animal that is under the control of 
humans, the quality rather than the quantity is considerd. 

Public opinion is for "birth control" and probably after 
women becum used to handling our national affairs, there 
wil be no laws on the books to punish a person for tell- 
ing a poor, helpless woman who is marrid to a worthless 
man how she can prevent additional misery for herself 
and for another generation. 

The fact is that most of the women who should hav 
large families understand "birth control," but the poor, 
the cripld, the imbeciles, and the insane kno nothing 
about it, and according to law it is a crime to tel them 
about it. Hence our insane asylums, prisons and poor- 
houses ar fild principally with those who wer "undesired" 
from the first. 

When "birth control" is in the hands of the women, 
children wil not be born and reard for cannon fodder. 
From what we hav red in the public pres during the past 
few years, it would seem as tho all the varius govern- 
ments cared about increas of childbirth was to hav more 
material for carrying on wars — men to fight and be kild 
and women to be used as an inducement to keep the strife 
activ. 

According to statistics 250,000 babies under one year 
of age died in this cuntry during the past year (1920). 
This is only a littl greater than the infant mortality of 
the preceding year. Think of the anxiety and suffering 
on the part of the 250,000 mothers in the short space of 
twelv months. If children wer desired and as much intel- 
ligent care wer taken in rearing them as is taken in rearing 
livestock, there would be no such awful record. This 
speaks badly for "civilization" and "medical progress."

All children ar legitimate. If there is anything on erth 
that is legitimate, it is the baby, and it is a blot upon 
"civilization" to call a child "illegitimate." It is hard 
enuf for the children that ar not wanted to survive with- 
out having this murderus stigma put upon them. (This 
subject is taken up at greater length in my book entitld, 
"Think.") 



LOVE — GOD'S CREED 

'God mesures souls by their capacity 
For entertaining his best Angel, Love. 
Who loveth most, is nearest kin to God 
Who is all Love, or nothing. 

He who sits 
And looks out on the palpitating world 
And feels his hart swel within him large enuf 
To hold men within it, he is near 
His great Creator's standard, tho he dwels 
Outside the pale of churches and knows not 
A feast day from a fast day, or a line 
Of Scripture even. What God wants of us 
Is that outstretching bigness that ignores 
All littlness of aims or creeds, 
And clasps all Erth and Heven in its embrace." 
— Ella Wheeler Wilcox. 



The bacteriological age is passing. In a few years the eco of 
"stamp out bacteria and yu stamp out diseas" wil seem distant. 

Bacteria ar a part of life and can never be stampt out without 
stamping out all life. 

Soon "Seed, Soil and Stimulant" (the three S's) wil be studid 
together and HELTH wil be the topic rather than diseas.

Birthmarks. 

Birthmarks indicate such marks as ar on the body of 
the child at birth, altho sum marks ar cald "birthmarks" 
that cum subsequent to birth. However, these remarks 
aply to all marks that becum visibl on the skin after birth. 

Formerly we had to cite many uncertain methods for 
removing such blemishes in the skin but now the birth- 
marks known as "port-wine" marks or nevi (blemishes 
that look like bunches of grapes), etc. can be perman- 
ently and painlessly removed by means of the latest type 
of quartz, mercury-vapor lamps. 

Bilious Attacks (Jaundis) 

Bilious attacks ar quickly relievd by clearing out the 
bowels and adhering to a proper diet.

^fjV\ Brest 

If a woman has atrofy of the brests 

or one brest of a different size than 

the other, there ar exercizes that ar 

of great benefit for the condition. 

Two of the best exercizes ar the 
reaching exercizes shown in Figs.

shown in Fig. 104. 

if properly performd, wil equalize

There ar no "brest foods." Regulating the diet wil help 
regulate the functions of every organ in the body. 

Powerful radiant light is very beneficial in reducing 
lumps in the brest. 

Do not imagin that every lump is cancerus. Only about 
one case in ten diagnosed as cancer of the brest is cancer. 
They ar enlargements that can be taken away by diet, 
hygien, powerful radiant light, and actinic rays. 




Figure 105 

Mastitis, or inflammation of the brest, is best treated 
by powerful radiant light or hot fomentations. 

Negativ pressure from brest pumps is often very bene- 
ficial in reducing hardness of the brest causd by imperfect 
functioning of the glands. (Fig. 105.) 

Bronchitis 

This is best treated by oxigen vapor, proper breathing 
and proper diet. 

Burns 

For all burns — iether from hot irons, electricity or 
the sun, "unguentine" a proprietary articl sold by all 
druggists, is probably the best. Next to that is paraffin, 
melted and pourd or blown on thru a special atomizer. 



one hundred sixty-nine 



Next to think of is vaselin. Do not open blisters. Let 
them remain intact as long as possibl. Burns heal faster 
when exposed to fresh air, or with paraffin on them, than 
in any other manner. 

Calluses 

Calluses, whether on the feet or elsewhere, can be 
cured by relieving the pressure. Paint them over with 
collodion every nite. 




HE DAY is never so dark, nor 
the nite even, but that the 
laws of light prevail, and so 
may make it light in our 
minds, if they ar open to the

CANCER (Carcinoma) 

I hav ritten a great deal about this condition in my 
larger works. I wil say briefly that cancer increases in 
almost the same ratio as vaccination does, and many of 
our best authorities ar beginning to think cancer is one 
of the results of vaccination. 

There is no dout but that there is a pre-cancerus condi- 
tion. My Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method of diagnosis 
wil often detect this pre-cancerus condition a year or two 
before there is any sign of a growth, and if the proper 
dietetic mesures ar then instituted this pre-cancerus con- 
dition wil disappear, and no matter how many bruises the 
person may hav they wil not becum malignant. 

On the contrary, if the methods of living ar not 
changed, especially eating, almost any irritated spot wil 
becum malignant — cancerus. 

Sum say that a cancer cannot be cured without cutting 
it out, and yet the very authorities that say this wil in 
the same discussion say that ninety-five times out of a 
hundred a true cancer wil return within three years. In 
other words, no cancer was ever cured by cutting it out. 
If it does not return within three years, it was not a 
cancer. 

From my own observation I can say that nine out of 
every ten cases diagnosed as cancer ar not cancer. Others 
go so far as to say that not one case in a hundred operated 
on for cancer is cancer. 

Dietetics and hygienic mesures no dout wil not only 
prevent cancer but wil cure it if not too far advanst. 

The fear of cancer is similar to the fear of hydrofobia. 
In the one case the first lump discoverd is thot to be can- 
cer, and in the other case the first bite from a dog or cat 
is thot to produce hydrofobia. This is the result of a 
sistematic fear propaganda for mercenary reasons. 

one hundred seventy-two 



Dr. L. Duncan Bulkley, one of the best informd 
cancer specialists in the U. S., says in the Medical 
Record of Jan. 29, 1921, that regardless of all that has 
been done to prevent or cure cancer during the last twenty 
years, the deth rate has increast 30% during that period. 

He says that radium and x-ray hav been very activly 
exploited during the last five years especially, but unfor- 
tunately the actual deth rate from malignant tumors has 
not decreast materially, if at all, over the cuntry, as 
shown by the U. S. Mortality Reports, while in New 
York City as we shal see, where these agents (radium and 
x-ray) ar in most activ use, where perhaps there is more 
radium than in any other city, the mortality from cancer 
has rizen more than before, and has actually exceded that 
from tuberculosis during the past six months. 

He further says that it does certainly seem that it is 
time to carefully investigate where the error lies and to 
endevor to correct it. 

During 1920, according to the records of the New 
York State helth department, there was a diminution 
of deths from all causes of 2.5% but during this same 
year there wer 5,361 deths recorded from cancer against 
5,026 in 1919, or an increas of 335, which is over 6.6%. 
Whereas the general yearly increas in cancer mortality 
in the whole U. S. has commonly been between 2 and 3%. 
Becaus of hygienic procedures the deths from tuberculosis 
hav decreast in New York 15.5%, and after carefully 
comparing the helth department's Weekly Bulletin, I 
find there was also a great drop from the preceding year 
in the mortality from tuberculosis, with also a very con- 
siderabl rize in the number of cancer deths during the 
year. 

It can thus be seen that cancer mortality has alredy 
outspred that of tuberculosis in New York City. 

In the week beginning Jan. 31, 1920, there was an 
average of eighteen deths from cancer a day in New 
York City. 

one hundred seventy-three 



This famus specialist further says that he has repeat- 
edly discust mesures other than surgery to combat this 
dedly increasing mortality of cancer and that he can 
assure us that very much greater success wil surely folio 
the careful and prolongd employment of proper medical 
mesures, carefully directed to combat the basic cans of 
the malady, than can possibly accrue from excizing or 
treating the local lesion, which is only the product of long 
continued sistemic disorders or errors — largely from 
errors in living ^ 

It is time that the peopl should be awakend to the fact 
that dietetic errors and inoculation such as vaccination 
and serumization ar without dout the great caus of can- 
cer, and that no cancer can ever be cured by cutting it out. 

I am very glad to be abl to quote from such a famus 
authority as Dr. L. Duncan Bulkley. 

The folloing is taken from the January, 1921, issue 
of Living Tissue, publisht in Boston, Mass. 

From the "Journal of Cancer ,} we quote the folloing 
statement which, red with the background of the thous- 
ands of torturing experiments performd upon helpless 
animals by the reserchers during all these years, should 
giv pause to anyone not utterly indifferent to the suffering 
of "the least of these" : 

"It must be confest that during the years of the investi- 
gations pursued by the Cancer Research Fund, nothing 
has been added to our knoledge which can be regarded as 
of any clinical value ; nor can it be said that these 'sientinV 
investigations hav lessend the burden of the incurability 
of this fatal diseas. Not a suggestion has issued from this 
'Imperial' organization helpful to those who ar cald upon 
to treat the diseas; the clinical side of this inscrutabl 
problem seems to be submergd in the pursuit of chimerical 
investigations which, however valuabl from the 'sientinV 
standpoint, hav so far scarcely afforded promis of the 
ultimate achievment of practical results."

Carbuncls or Boils 

This condition is brot about by errors in diet and can 
be cured by proper diet as outlined in this book. 

Radiant light and actinic rays ar of inestimabl value 
in treating this condition. 

Do not eat yeastcakes to cure carbuncls, or boils. 

Boils ar cumming up in "big-crops" now, folloing the 
new diseas, "yeastcake intoxication" or "yeastcake 
dispepsia" 

Catar 

Catar, no matter where located, can be properly cured 
by the regulation of the diet as alredy set forth. 

The best auxiliary remedy is powerful radiant light 
and actinic rays. 

Chickenpox (Varicella) 

Chickenpox can be very easily treated. Giv no food 
unless it be acid fruit juices for at least three days. Keep 
the body warm and keep light out of the patient's eyes. 

Hot stupes over the entire body ar of great benefit 
becaus to keep the body swetting wil bring out the impur- 
ities with great rapidity. 

Keep the bowels open. A warm enema made by adding 
a teaspoonful of common baking soda to the pint of 
water is of great benefit. 

The majority of the cases reported by the boards of 
"helth" as smallpox ar only chickenpox. Don't be fright- 
end. Don't be afraid. 

Circumcision 

I cannot refrain from advizing circumcision of all boy 
babies before they ar a month old. The foreskin was 
made as a protection to the glans, but the body was not 
supposed to be coverd. If persons always went naked, 
the foreskin would be of great value, but the modern 
way of dressing and a long foreskin do not go wel to- 
gether. Under the circumstances a long foreskin makes a 
great deal of trubl for the boy as he grows older.

Clitoris 

The clitoris is often the seat of irritations that spoil 
the disposition of a child. Many girls and women suffer 
all their lives from nervus irritation causd by a hooded 
and adhered clitoris. It is best to hav the clitoris un- 
hooded before the baby girl is a month old, and then 
see that it is kept unhooded by means of pledgets mois- 
tend in oliv oil. 

"Colds" 

"Cold" in the hed or elsewhere is not a diseas but 
a simptom of a sistematic or local congestion. For years 
I hav notist that after the holidays or on a Monday 
morning I am consulted regularly by persons suffering 
with "colds." There is no dout but that overeating or 
eating too many sweets or starches is the primary caus 
of "colds." 

After the membranes in the nose or other parts of the 
body hav becum congested for an extended period of 
time, it requires more than ordinary dieting to rectify 
the condition. 

Having the body chilld wil often produce inflammatory 
conditions of the musls, but the simptoms ar not the same 
as the common "cold." 

The cure for "colds" is fasting and clearing out the 
bowels. If a person feels a "cold cumming on," the 
proper procedure is to take nothing but a limited amount 
of acid fruit juices for at least three days. It is often 
just as wel to take only a littl water for this length of 
time. 

If a person becums constipated, they often "take a 
cold." That is a cue for such persons that their intestins 
ar not acting properly. 

Deep breathing thru the nose and the inhaling of 
steam medicated with oil of eucaliptus or sum other 
of the pinus group of oils givs great relief for "colds in 
the hed." 

one hundred seventy-six 



To "feed a cold" is like feeding a fire. It wil keep 
burning as long as it is fed. 

The fact that there is nearly always a fever with a 
severe "cold" makes it stil more imperativ that one should 
partake of no food until the "cold" is broken and the 
fever has subsided. 

The pernicious habit of "feeding a cold" is often the 
caus of bronchitis, neumonia, pleurisy and tuberculosis. 

Cronic Catar of the hed usually folios repeated colds, 
and is therefore another simptom of errors in diet and 
hygien. 

Bright, hot sunlight on the bare body is of great benefit 
for "colds," but if this cannot be obtaind, radiations from 
the powerful incandescent lamps and the actinic rays from 
the quartz, mercury-vapor lamps, and if possibl the in- 
halation of oxigen vapor, ar the remedies (in addition 
to diet) for colds and catar. Chiropractic adjustments 
often reliev the tension about the spine and thus help in 
curing "colds." 

The folloing poem is so apropos that I hav copied it 
from the March, 1921, number of the American Journal 
of Clinical Medicine. 



A "COLD" 
A cold is not a cold to me — 

It's Nature's way to tel 
That I'v been dining recently, 

Not wizely, but, too wel. 



A snuffly nose has cum to mean 
That I'v enjoyd erstwhile, 

Sum bredded pork chops, nestld deep 
In sweet spuds, "Southern Style." 

And when I puf germ-laden cofs 
At "L" trains ful of boobs, 

I kno its lobster, broild alive 
That fouls my bronchial tubes!

Or else, perchance, a wondrus steak 

With onions crisp and brown 
Has made my liver make of me 

A menace to the town. 

Or it might be a chunk of cheese 

Or mince pie, hot and sweet, 
So, a cold is not a cold to me — 

Its just, too much to eat! 

— Emma Tolman East. 

Constipation 

The exercizes alredy given, along with the diet out- 
lined, wil prevent constipation, and as a rule wil cure it. 
Do not take medicin for constipation. Paraffin oil, so 
widely advertized, wil keep a person a slave to it. Min- 
eral oil (paraffin oil) lubricates the intestins and causes 
Nature to cease secreting the natural lubricants. 

The "internal baths" so much advertized ar devils in 
saints' clothing. To dilate the bowel with water under 
pressure is sure to damage the 
bowel and often causes serius 
results. Do not fil the bowels 
up with refuse to be "sewerd" 
out. 

Regulate your diet and carry out 
suitabl exercizes, and yu wil never 
look for dopes or "flushes" to 
remove the waste material. 

"Salts" make the bowels move, 
to drive the "Salts" out. The 
bowels hate bad company. 
The position at stool has much to do with preventing 
and curing constipation. The natural position to assume 
at stool is what is known as "the Indian position." (Figs. 
106 and 107.) This squatting position brings the thighs 
and nees against the abdomen and hastens the natural 
movement of the bowels. The modern "toilet" is an 
abomination and is to blame for many cases of cronic con- 
owe hundred seventy-eight 





stipation. If one has to use such "toilets" they should put 
a footstool or box under the feet so as 
to bring the nees against the abdomen. 
Cultivate regularity in going to 
stool. Do not read nor talk while at 
stool. Put your mind on making the 
bowels move, and when that is done, 
get off the toilet. Sitting on a toilet 
longer than is necessary is conduciv 
to piles, and many cases of hemorroids 
(piles) ar causd by the bad habit of 
reading while at stool. 

Cystitis (Inflammation of the Bladder) 

This condition is best handld by diet and powerful 
radiant light. Use hot stupes if the radiant light cannot 
be obtaind. 

Eating about two tablspoonfuls of finely chopt parsly 
two or three times a day is of great benefit in this condi- 
tion. 

Washing the bladder out is never necessary and is 
never of any lasting benefit. It causes irritation and makes 
matters worse. 

Osteopathic or chiropractic treatment is often of great 
help in this condition. 

Defness 

Defness is often causd by an accumulation of wax in 
the external ear canal, but it is almost always causd by 
catarral inflammation in the inner ear. This condition 
is tecnically known as otosclerosis and is a condition 
where the spongy-bone formation folios a fibrus change 
in the capsule of the labyrinth of the ear. 

Nearly all catarral conditions in the ear ar causd by 
errors in diet and hygien. 

To remedy defness the first requisit is a change of diet 
and to adhere as nearly as possibl to the diet outlined 
in this book. 



one hundred seventy-nine 



Vibration about the ear, if correctly executed, wil often 
help wonderfully in increasing the circulation in the ear 
and thereby reducing the inflammation. 

Reducing pressure in the ear by putting in a few drops 
of warm glycerin is also beneficial. If glycerin is used, a 
littl cotton plug coverd with vaselin should be used to 
keep the glycerin in. 

Do not use oil in an aking ear. 

Powerful, radiant light over the ear is also of great 
benefit in curing defness. 

Often chiropractic adjustments correctly done wil aid 
in overcumming defness. 

A catheter should not be used in the eustachian tube 
for relieving defness as the second condition is sure to be 
worse than the first. Insted of that, the physician should 
use medicated vapor thru both sides of the nose at one 
time, having the patient swallo with the lips closed when 
the pressure is made with the vapor. This opens the littl 
valv of the eustachian tube in the throat and wil do 
wonders in overcumming many forms of defness. 

Practising with a watch to see how far one can hold it 
from the hed and stil hear the ticking, is a very beneficial 
procedure in training the mind to overcum the habit of 
neglecting to hear. Many cases of defness ar mental 
rather than anatomical or fisical. One can get in the 
habit of not hearing just the same as they get in the habit 
of not observing. 

Diabetes Mellitus 

This condition is nearly always a result of rong living 
and rong thinking. In the first place, it is doutless due 
to putrefactiv fermentation in the intestins; and in the 
next place, it is almost sure to be connected with worry. 
One can be almost positiv that if a person has diabetes 
he has sum family discord, or sum business entanglment 
that is not successful. Worry produces a poison in the 
sistem just as much as rong eating.

It is a wel-known fact that diabetes is on the increas, 
and the situation is becumming alarming. 

The fact that this nation at the present time is con- 
suming from ten to fifteen times more sugar per capita 
than it did a hundred years ago, and nearly 50 per cent, 
more than it consumed ten years ago wil giv us a littl 
cue to the dietetic errors. 

The fact that we liv such rapid lives and under such 
abnormal conditions wil giv another cue. 

Many authorities claim that under-oxidation is the 
primary caus of diabetes mellitus. This under-oxidation 
is a secondary caus to dietetic errors and mental anxiety. 

To think that one can cure diabetes by withholding 
fruit-sugars is rong, but all salt and all meats — in fact all 
animal products — and refined sugar should be withheld 
from a person with diabetes. 

Sum wil say that alcohol is a remedy for diabetes. We 
cannot deny the fact that sum cases of sugar diabetes wil 
be entirely cleard of the sugar if the patient drinks three 
ounces of old sour wine three times a day, but with other 
cases this wil hav no good effect. It is very dangerus to 
recommend alcoholic beverages for the cure of any diseas. 

Nicotin is a very potent factor in producing sub- 
oxidation in the sistem. Therefore it is one of the factors 
in keeping diabetes on the increas. 

Diabetes is causd by faulty metabolism and is the direct 
result of auto-intoxication no matter what causes the auto- 
intoxication. Auto-intoxication interferes with the action 
of the internal secretions and sumtimes it shows up as 
diabetes; at other times nefritis, gout, arthritis, neuritis, 
arterio-sclerosis, etc. 

The treatment of diabetes is almost identical with that 
of tuberculosis. In fact over 40% of all cases of diabetes 
mellitus hav tuberculosis, and sumtimes I think more than 
50% hav it. Therefore the treatment is almost the same. 
Consequently correct living, hygien, exercizes, deep 

one hundred eighty-one 



breathing and a happy frame of mind ar the remedies 
for this condition. 

Most diabetics ar so imprest with what they must or 
must not eat that they becum food neurasthenics. There- 
fore they should understand what they should eat and 
why they ar eating it, and then forget about it. 

The raw-food diet for diabetes is no dout without 
a peer, becaus the elements that ar wanting in the sistem 
from eating cookt food ar given in the raw food. 

The diet for diabetics is the same as outlined in this 
book under Dietetics — lemon-juice hygien and acid fruits 
for brekfast, and for the midday and evening meals a 
selection from the f olloing : 

One or two tablspoonfuls of nuts, ground or unground, 
or raw peanuts, being sure they ar wel masticated. 

Raw vegetabls — lettis, spinach, alfalfa or red clover 
blossoms and small tender leavs and buds, dandelion, 
watercres, parsly, cabbage, turnips, garden mint, fennel, 
ground artichokes, ripe tomatoes, cauliflower, brussels 
sprouts, moderate amount of peas or carrots once a day, 
onions. (If raw onions do not agree, they can be boild 
or baked with a lump of butter or oliv oil added.) 

A pint of scientifically sourd milk or fresh, genuin 
buttermilk can be eaten with a spoon once daily. 

Four ounces of cream (gravity raisd preferd — top 
milk) can be eaten with the midday or evening meal. It 
could be mixt with the sourd milk. 

One or two egs can be eaten daily if prepared as men- 
tiond on page 65. 

If one wishes a hot drink, I prescribe Marmite 
(Vegex) or Herb-ex. To either of these extracts can be 
added raw vegetabl juices or ground raw vegetabls. 

For bred, Ry-Krisp f manufactured by the Original Ry- 
Krisp Co., Minneapolis, Minn., is no dout the best. Ry 
seems to caus les sugar in the urin than any other grain, 
especially when baked as Ry-Krisp is. Two pieces of 

one hundred eighty-two 



Ry-Krisp the size of one's hand ar sufficient to be eaten 
at one meal. 

Butter (fresh, unsalted preferd) can be used freely. 

If, after two or three weeks the patient's urin shows 
a markt decreas of sugar, he can try a few unsulferd 
black figs, sun-dried prunes, or a tablspoonful of seedless 
raisins. After eating these sweet dried fruits a few days, 
the urin should be examind and if the quantity of sugar 
is increast then these sweet fruits should be omitted or 
lessend until the increas of sugar is not notist. 

The diabetic should be more than particular to keep 
the pores of the skin in good condition. This is best done 
by a tepid bath every nite, followd by a good rub-down 
with a hevy Turkish towel. 

It is just as important for a diabetic to practis deep 
breathing as it is for one suffering with tuberculosis. Use 
the spirometer and thus see just what use yu ar making 
of the lungs. 

Diftheria 

The keynote in treating diftheria is to treat it when 
it first begins. This is best done by giving nothing but 
fruit juices. 

The bowels should be thoroly cleard by baking-soda 
enemas. 

Inhaling of steam with oil of eucaliptus in it is of 
great value. 

In sum instances spraying the throat with a mixture of 
coal oil (kerosene) and oliv oil, equal parts, is the local 
remedy. 

I am convinst that antitoxin or any other serum is 
worse than useless for diftheria. The serum manufac- 
turers hav a way of getting statistics publisht to look as 
if diftheria wer on the decreas by the use of antitoxins, 
but the fact remains that there ar practically as many 
deths from diftheria today, directly or indirectly, as 
there wer before antitoxin was ever used, and this in 
spite of the improved sanitary conditions now common. 

one hundred eighty-three 



I hav met very many old practitioners who hav treated 
hundreds of cases of diftheria and never used any serum 
or vaccin for it, and their percentage of deths has been 
far les than those who used antitoxins. 

Giving a child antitoxin treatment to prevent diftheria 
shows that we ar getting back to superstition as fast as 
commercialism wil take us. Thousands of children ar 
murderd by the use of antitoxins, but the deth certificates 
never giv that as the caus any more than they state the 
caus of deth from vaccination. Superstition and com- 
mercialism ar back of this outrage. 

The fact that a "drugless," or Nature-Cure physician 
very rarely loses a case of diftheria speaks for itself. 
Poisoning a person to make them wel never has aided 
Nature and never can. If a child livs rightly it wil never 
hav diftheria. The child's gardians ar usually respon- 
sibl for diftheria. 

I hav the honor of quoting the folloing from the pen 
of the famus physician and humanity helper, Charles E. 
Page, M. D., of Boston, Mass., from the March, 1921, 
number of Living Tissue. 

What Anti-toxin Does. 

A hale, harty, robust man of middl age, newly elected 
Governor of Maine, kild by "massiv doses of anti-toxin." 
The "remedy" is said to hav workt very favorably, but 
the victim died. Massiv doses of anti-toxin would tend 
to kil the helthiest man. A littl swelling on the tung, and 
they suspected diftheria. In hundreds of thousands of 
cases of ilness accompanid by throat simptoms, moderate 
doses of the serum hav proved fatal. The deth certificates 
in these cases should hav named as the caus, "anti-toxin" 
insted of diftheria. Wize hygienists unite in condeming 
all serums. 

In the eleventh edition of the Encycopaedia Britannica, 
in the articl on Diftheria, the contributor quotes a dis- 
tinguish^ sientist, Prof. Thorne, as folios: "We hav to 

one hundred eighty-four 



note that the great increas in diftheria mortality of late 
years corresponds, in point of time, with the great 
improvements in such sanitary mesures as water suply, 
drainage, sewerage, etc." We might wel ask what it is 
that has so counteracted these benefits? The only reply 
is "ANTI-TOXIN," and the exact figures at the Reg. 
istrar-General's offis (Eng.) prove that the mortality 
attributed to "diftheria" has been greater by nearly one- 
third since 1893-4, the date of the onset of the "anti- 
toxin" treatment, than prior thereto, and up til 1910, 
reckoning on the basis of per million population yearly 
averages. In view of this there is no escape from the con- 
viction that the serum injections employd in most cases 
of ilness complicated with throat simptoms hav so counter- 
acted the benefits of improved sanitation as to caus the 
increast mortality attributed to a diseas that is bad enuf 
in itself without any complication of artificial blood- 
poisoning. This is true of all diseases. Verily, the laity, 
rich and poor, ar "up against it," facing such treatments. 
A few weeks ago the papers under prominent hedlines 
told us that a yung man rusht by automobil with a 
quantity of neumonia serum to be employd in the case of 
his frend, a Medf ord boy, who was a pupil at the Hebron, 
Maine, Academy. We lern that the boy died. If there 
was a possibility of his recovery, the injection of the 
neumonia serum would tend to prevent it, for every such 
injection is a threat to life at any stage of any diseas. 
When it can be absolutely proved that any serum treat- 
ment is beneficial, we shal find water running uphil natur- 
ally, for the laws of Nature wil hav been reverst. The 
injection of any foren substance is a direct violation of 
the first law of helth and life, namely, to maintain the 
normal purity of the blood. {See Addenda.) 

Diarrea or Disinter y 

These conditions ar brot about by errors in diet. The 
best remedy is to abstain from food entirely or giv 

one hundred eighty-five 



toasted bred soakt in water. Another remedy is whole 
grain meal or flour roasted on a hot plate and then soakt 
in a littl warm water and eaten slowly. 

Castor oil to clear out the intestinal tract is of great 
value as ar also baking-soda enemas. The irritation in 
the intestins that causes the diarrea or disintery must be 
relievd. 

The patient should be kept quiet. 

Blackberry juice is also of great value in treating these 
conditions. 

Dismenorrea (Painful Menstruation) 

This condition in the majority of cases is so redily 
remedid that it seems a pity that so many girls hav to 
go to womanhood and on to the menopaus without any 
relief. 

Diet and exercize and proper dilation of the vagina 
and rectum wil in almost every instance reliev this con- 
dition. 

Powerful radiant light is also of great benefit. 

Hot sitz baths or electric-light sitz baths ar also very 
beneficial. (Fig. 89.) 

Properly dilating the vagina, and if necessary dilating 
the opening of the uterus, wil in nearly every instance 
reliev this condition, if the diet be regulated so as to 
prevent gas pressure. 

Dispepsia (Indigestion) 

This being the direct caus of faulty diet can be cured 
by rectifying the eating habits. 

Often dispepsia is causd by eating one or two large 
meals a day. The "no-brekfast" plan for treating dis- 
pepsia I hav found to be a mith for the reason that the 
person wil eat all the more greedily in the middl of the 
day or in the evening. Eating one big meal a day wil 
often caus dispepsia more than anything else. 

Overwork, neurasthenia, worry, temper, and other ner- 
vus conditions ar also direct causes of indigestion. 

one hundred eighty-six 



Eating a small amount four or five times a day I hav 
found wil cure indigestion when nothing else wil. (When 
I say a small amount, I mean about two tablspoonfuls 
of raw food — in many instances fruit juices.) 

Often a small handful of freshly popt corn without 
any salt or dressing wil act not only as a relief but a cure 
for indigestion, if taken every hour or so. 

Many persons who wake up in the nite with a burn- 
ing sensation in the stomac can often be relievd quickly 
by taking a small handful of popcorn. 

Taking baking soda or any other alkali for reducing 
the acidity in the stomac only makes the second condition 
worse than the first. It does not cure. It simply relievs 
for the time being. The more alkali is put into the 
stomac, the more the stomac wil produce acid. It is for 
that reason that I often cure indigestion by giving fruit 
juices in tablspoonful doses every hour. Sumtimes one 
or two tablspoonfuls of sientifically sourd milk, given 
every hour for a period of several weeks, wil cure indi- 
gestion. 

Since yeast cakes hav been so widely advertized I am 
observing a peculiar form of stomac trubl folloing their 
use for a few weeks. This condition I hav named "yeast- 
cake dispepsia" or yeast-cake intoxication" It is very 
difficult to cure. Boils usually crop out with this condition. 

The kicking-out exercize shown in Fig. 1 is one of the 
best remedies for indigestion. I hav had patients abl to 
lie on their backs and kick out strait at a suspended bag 
several hundred times without letting their feet drop, and 
in so doing they wer relievd of the most aggravated 
forms of indigestion. 

The exercizes outlined in this book and folloing a raw 
food diet as herein mentiond wil in ninety-nine cases out 
of a hundred not only reliev dispepsia but wil cure it. 

As an auxiliary mesure, powerful radiant light for the 

one hundred eighty-seven 



stomac and osteopathic or chiropractic treatment over 
the spine ar of great benefit 

Drug Habit (See Alcoholism) 

Ear, Nose and Throat 

Treatment of these organs is best done by powerful, 
radiant light and actinic rays. As a rule, no surgical in- 
terference is necessary if the right diet is given and pow- 
erful, radiant light aplied. 

For earake use a mixture of glycerin, nine drops to 
carbolic acid one drop. Don't use oil in an ear that akes. 
(See page 38.) 

Eczema 

Eczema, no matter in what form, can be handld 
entirely by diet and hygien as outlined in this book. How- 
ever, an eczematus person generally wants a more rapid 
cure. Therefore as an auxiliary mesure, powerful radiant 
light combind with actinic rays from the quartz, mercury- 
vapor lamp is without dout the very best remedy. 
Enuresis (Bed-wetting) See Urin, Retention of 

Epilepsy. 

Epilepsy is the bete noir of all practitioners. It is 
considerd by many to be the most hopeless condition that 
one has to treat. I am happy to say that this condition 
is not a hopeless one. The suggestion to a patient that 
it is hopeless makes it all the more difficult to cure. 

Every person suffering with epileptic seizures shows a 
peculiar reflex when examind by the B-D-C screens. I 
hav a screen made purposely for diagnosing this con- 
dition. This special screen proves to all users of the 
B-D-C sistem that there is a profound auto-intoxication 
with every case of epilepsy. Whether all of these cases 
of auto-intoxication ar causd by the diet is a question, 
but whether the diet be the primary caus or not, all 
observers wil agree that the elimination is in sum way 
impaird. 

one hundred eighty-eight 




The first consideration then in treating epilepsy is the 
diet. I hav never yet seen a person hav epileptic seizures 
if they carried out a strict dietetic regime, provided 
varius abnormalities such as tight sfincters wer removed. 
The outlets of the body, the anus, urethra, vagina, nose, 
mouth and even the navel, should be wel examind by a 
competent observer to see that they ar normal. 

Another fenomenon that nearly every epileptic 
mentions is the peculiar sensation that cums before the 
seizure. A careful study of this pre-epileptic 
condition shows that a greater flo of energy 
goes from one side of the hed to the other. 
It is for that reason that I designd the device 
illustrated in Fig. Ill for treating this con- 
dition. It consists of a wire or sum metal chain 
to go around the forehed, and attacht to this is 
^ a littl chain the same as is used with eyeglasses. 
This hangs down back of the ear. Attacht to 
Figure 111. tne other end of the chain is a small wire (alum- 
inum preferd) which is past thru a very small 
sized rubber tube so as to insulate it from the upper part 
of the body. Between the sternum and the navel this wire 
is bare and coild as in the illustration. This is held against 
the skin by narro adhesiv plaster. 

I hav never known a person to hav a seizure of 
epilepsy while wearing such a device. This can be made 
at home or by any good jeweler, and is worth a trial. It 
can be made so that it is not notisabl. If the wire is 
oxidized and the person has dark hair, it wil not sho. 

Those who hav their seizures only at nite, can wear it 
only at nite, but my experience is that it is best to wear 
it all the time. 

Sumtimes wearing a gold or silver chain around the 
neck and attaching the insulated wire to one side of that, 
and having the bared end over the epigastric region, as 
shown in the illustration, wil prevent the epileptic 

one hundred eighty-nine 



seizures, but it is usually necessary to hav the band about 
the hed to neutralize these energies. 

Cutting out all unnatural sweets and cookt starches 
such as mushes, bred, potatoes, etc., is imperativ in treat- 
ing this condition. I make it a rule to put the patient 
on a strictly raw diet, including fruits, vegetabls and nuts, 
as outlined in this book. That in connection with keeping 
the bowels wel open and wearing an energy equalizer as 
illustrated, wil in nearly every instance prevent epileptic 
seizures. It is only a question of preventing them for a 
certain length of time when the case can be considerd 
cured, provided the diet is adhered to. 

If persons ar predisposed to epileptic seisures, it is 
imperativ that they keep the bowels wel open and adhere 
to a strict diet, as outlined in this book. 

For auxiliary treatments, the B-D-C treatment, along 
with powerful radiant light and deep breathing ar to be 
recommended. Light radiated intermittently thru the 
B-D-C screens on the bare chest of the patient, carrying 
out the B-D-C tecnic, has met with very excellent results. 

Fasting 

This has been mentiond under Dietetics, page 75. 
Fasting for a few days and then eating great quantities 
of food makes the second condition worse than the first. 

Many dis-eases can be entirely remedid by fasting 
anywhere from one to twenty-one days. I never advocate 
fasting more than twenty-one days. 

A "water fast" indicates that the person takes nothing 
but water, and that is what I refer to when I speak of 
fasting. A person can go on a "modified" fast by taking 
only orange juice for a certain number of days or any 
one special articl of food such as grapefruit juice, berry 
juice, etc. 

All of these mesures hav their apropriate place, but 
should be prescribed only by one thoroly informd in the 

one hundred ninety 



work. As a rule, a water fast for a few days is the best of 
all if a fast be indicated. 

To break a fast, one must start eating very lightly. 
That is best done by taking from three to six ounces of 
orange juice several times a day for three days, gradually 
adding garden herbs and after a week vegetabl juices 
or the whole raw vegetabls. 

All cases of "colds," which ar modified fevers, and all 
fevers, ar best handld by water or fruit-juice fasting. 

Feces 

The feces, or excrements, or stools, often indicate the 
condition of one's metabolism, but the habit of carefully 
examining the feces after every stool is a bad one. It 
produces many neurotics. 

The feces ar hardly ever exactly alike for two days, 
as they depend so much upon the caracter of the food 
taken and the general habits of the person. However, 
if they rize to the top of water, it shows that there is 
more fermentation going on in the bowels than there 
should be. If they sho undigested food, it indicates that 
too much food is being taken or it is not being digested. 
If there be mucus with the fecal matter, it shows that a 
catarral condition has taken place in the bowels, which 
indicates colitis. 



A traveler who believd himself to be the sole survivor of a ship- 
wreck upon a canibal ile, hid for three days, in terror. Driven out by 
hunger, he discoverd a thin wisp of smoke rizing from a clump of 
bushes inland, and crawld along carefully. 

Just as he reacht the clump he herd a voice say: "Why in hel did 
yu play that card?" He dropt on his nees, and, devoutly raising his 
hands, cried: "Thank God, they ar Christians!"

Fever Feeding 

I wish to mention briefly the fact that more pcopl ar 
kild by being fed when they hav a fever than hav ever 
been kild by epidemics. It is a great calamity that our 
boards of helth kno so littl about diets. Recently I red a 
circular sent out by the board of helth in a large citv. 
and that circular advocated the eating of "plenty of 
nourishing food" when a person had influenza. Such ad- 
vice is criminal. If the person liv thru a fever when stuft 
in this manner, as a rule, they ar never wel after it, or 
not until they hav had sum serius ailment. I do not see 
what the helth authorities ar thinking of, if they think 
at all, when they send out such notises to physicians, the 
majority of whom ar not educated along the lines of 
dietetics and cannot think rationally on the subject. To 
giv such advice as this thru the public pres is nothing les 
than criminal. 

The feeding of "flu" victims during the epidemic of 
1918-1919 probably was responsibl for more deths than 
the World War. 

We hear a good deal about the deths causd by alcohol 
or by other drugs, but very littl is said regarding the 
deths causd by physicians prescribing food to those who 
should hav none. 

A fever is a condition brot about by a rapid combus- 
tion — the sistem is burning up everything inimical to 
itself. In other words it is an expression of the organ- 
ism's antagonism to sum poisonus substances. 

A fever should not be checkt by drugs. If the patient 
be let alone and given plenty of water, the fever wil 
soon subside, provided the bowels be wel cleard out. To 
try to reduce a fever by feeding is like putting out a 
fire by throwing shavings on it. If every physician had 
this drild into him when in college, the saving of life 
would be beyond computation. 

one hundred ninety-two 



No other animal excepting the human animal eats when 
it is sick. This I hav said before, but it bears repeating 
hundreds of times. Physicians do not seem to take into 
consideration that we ar all animals, and humans should 
know at least as much as sum of the "lower" animals. 

Feeding persons when they ar sick is another instance 
of trying to interfere with Nature, so again let me say 
do not feed a person with a fever. Clear the bowels out, 
and the fever wil subside, but ad fuel to the fire and 
the fire wil continue to burn. 

I hav just diagnosed a "traind" nurse and find she has 
endocarditis. She said she "nursed under a 'regular' 
physician of hy standing" during the "flu" and that 
they had "the worst cases in the city," becaus 70% of 
them died. She had it too and was treated by her physi- 
cian as the others wer. She said the physician also had 
the "flu" and "nearly died." She said he is now "short 
of breth too." She named several patients who wer also 
"short of breth." She said they fed their patients all they 
could eat during the fever and they soon had neumonia 
and died. Those who livd ar "sickly." They used "as- 
perin" on all cases for pain and fear. This doctor's 
ignorance, and not the flu, kild his patients. 



"Strait is the line of Duty, 
Curvd is the line of Beauty; 
Folio the first and thou shalt see 
The other ever folio thee."

Gland Implantation 

Much notorius propaganda is now going on in the 
public pres regarding the implantation of glands from 
monkys, sheep and other animals, and even from elec- 
trocuted criminals. Old men, enfeebld men, impotent 
men, and even weak-minded women fall victims to this 
criminal propaganda. 

This propaganda is an organized sistem for graft and 
there is absolutely nothing to it except graft, and humili- 
ation for those who submit to it. Any gland from an- 
other animal or from another person implanted into a 
living being wil soon sluf away and leav the victim worse 
than he was before. 

The majority of the reports publisht in the papers ar 
outright lies, and sum of the peopl who vouch for them 
ar liars paid by those who ar boosting the graft. 

Nature cannot be decievd. If a person is used up 
sexually, the only way he can ever be restored is by the 
natural way, namely, rest and proper diet. The effects 
of ''whipping an animal up" by means of stimulation do 
not last long. The second condition is always worse than 
the first. 

Becaus political doctors ar vouching for this crime 
upon the public makes it all the worse. Many hav an 
idea that if a doctor is in public life, or in politics, he can 
be depended upon, but I am sorry to say that it is usually 
exactly the opposit. That is, when a doctor goes into 
politics, or holds a political job "without pay," there is 
a big nigger in the wood pile, and I would advize all to 
be slo in believing anything such doctors say or publish. 

Commercialism is back of all such outrageous propa- 
ganda. 

I would advize those who wish to keep informd regard- 
ing the doings of political doctors to subscribe for The 
Truth Teller, publisht at Battle Creek, Mich. This givs 
facts that the peopl should kno about.

Food Adulteration 

It is almost impossibl to get food in tin cans or boxes 
that has not been adulterated, especially if such food is 
ground or fixt up in any manner. Dried fruits or vege- 
tabls that hav not been sulfurd or treated to make them 
an unnatural color or to preserv them should be selected. 

No one needs condiments of any kind. In them is 
probably the most adulteration outside of cand soups 
or cand goods of varius sorts. 

If persons eat raw food, iether fresh or sun-dried, they 
ar very sure to hav food that is correct. 

A government "label of inspection" does not always 
make the goods safe. Do not place too much dependence 
upon these "government" garantees. 

Goiter (Enlargement of the Thyroid Gland) 

This condition can be cured by diet and neck exercizes 
as outlined in this book, if the enlargement has not becum 
fibrus. If it has becum fibrus, it cannot be made smaller, 
but it can be kept from growing. 

Intermittent pressure by means of a metal probe past 
thru the nose against the posterior wall of the naso- 
pharynx is often helpful in curing goiter. 

Chiropractic or osteopathic treatment is probably the 
most efficient of any for this condition, altho powerful, 
radiant light and the actinic rays often work wonders in 
treating the thyroid gland. 

Chiropractic adjustments, if properly aplied, often ar 
of great help in curing goiter. 

The pulsoidal current aplied over the enlarged gland 
and over the third cervical vertebra, is often the best 
treatment for goiter.

GONORREA (The Black Plague) 

At the present time large commercial industries ar 
interested in propaganda to make the peopl think there 
is a serum or vaccin cure for gonorrea and that there is 
also a serum to prevent it and also one for diagnosing it. 
Every one of these serums or vaccins is utterly worthless. 
They ar absolutely unreliabl, and the great calamity is 
that they ar being fosterd by many of our public "helth" 
boards. Many a person is said to hav gonorrea when he 
has not, and many ar said to not hav it that hav it. 

The popular method of treating gonorrea by means of 
astringent injections usually produces a second condition 
that is worse than the first. 

To make light of gonorrea is to make light of one of 
the worst plagues known to man. Gonorrea is another 
one of the awful plagues that folio in the wake of so- 
cald civilization. It is a wel-known fact among surgeons, 
especially among those who specialize in gynecological 
work, that nearly 85% of all pelvic operations in women 
ar causd by gonorrea, and nearly all of these contracted 
the diseas innocently from their husbands who hav at sum 
time had gonorrea — the majority thinking they had been 
cured. 

Gonorrea is a terribl diseas and far more dangerus 
than tuberculosis. Its disastrus consequences ar infinitly 
farther reaching than those of tuberculosis or cancer. 

Education, diet and hygien ar the only factors that wil 
ever make the diseas les prevalent. 

Feeding children with egs, fish, and stimulating foods 
is one of the prime causes of over-sexual development 
and lack of self-control. 

Reading sensuous novels and yello-journal items as 
wel as witnesing lewd moving pictures, ar also potent 

one hundred ninety-six 



factors in over stimulating the sexual organs so that the 
yung lose control of themselvs. 

Dancing sensuous dances and mingling with women 
who dres to excite the passions ar also indirect causes for 
the terribl black plague. 

The cure for this disastrus diseas lies in diet as out- 
lined in this book and powerful radiant light and the 
actinic rays from the quartz mercury vapor lamps. 

I do not believ a person with nicotin or alcohol in their 
sistem has ever been cured of gonorrea. The first requi- 
sit is to get the nicotin or alcohol out of the sistem and 
then get the gonorreic infection out. 

If one wishes to study further on this subject, I would 
refer them to my book on Prostatic Diseas and my larger 
textbooks.

Grip or Influenza 

Grip should be handld in the same manner as neu- 
monia. Becaus it is not handld in this manner is the 
reason so many cases end in neumonia. 

Never giv asperin or any other coal-tar product to 
reduce a fever. It is especially dangerus to giv in dis- 
eases affecting the respiration. In sum of my larger 
works I hav publisht reports concerning over 12,000 
cases of the "flu" with a los of les than one-fifteenth of 
one per cent, by folloing out the plan here outlined. The 
orthodox methods (those recommended by the boards of 
"helth") kild about seventeen per cent. 

Gum Chewing 

The chewing of gum is becumming a national habit. 
I do not kno as chewing a littl gum directly after a meal 
is especially injurius, but the habit of gum-chewing is a 
result of nervusness. A person that is always chewing 
gum is a nervus person and chews to quiet the nervs. 
However, it tires out the nervs and a vicious circl is set up. 

Chewing gum in public is a very uncouth habit and 
children should be taut to not do it. 

Excessiv gum chewing over-stimulates the salivary 
glands and over-cultivates the masticating musls. It spoils 
the looks of many girls. If the gum-chewing habit 
continues to increas as it has in the past ten years, it wil 
not be long before peopl wil hav jaws resembling those 
of the ruminating animals. 

Hart Diseases 

All manner of hart diseases ar best treated by regulat- 
ing the diet and by chiropractic or osteopathic treatment. 
The- neck exercizes as given in this book wil often make 
a bad hart a fairly good one. Don't wear stif collars. 

Hemorroids (Piles) 

This condition is secondary to constipation or strain- 
owe hundred ninety-eight 



ing, and is best cured by regulating the diet and by hot 
sitz baths or electric-light sitz baths. 

There are many suppositories of an astringent nature 
that ar palliativ in this condition. I think Iodex (a stain- 
less iodin ointment) is one of the best remedies to use 
for hemorrhoids or an itching anus. 
Hiccof. 

Every year we read in the papers of many persons 
dying from hiccof. It can be relievd in very short order. 

Hiccof is a rithmical contraction of the diafram and 
is causd by irritation. As a rule, the irritation cums from 
gas in the stomac or bowels. 

The proper way of overcumming hiccof is the same as 
for overcumming whooping cof, namely, fasting. A littl 
water or acid fruit juice and water mixt, if the patient 
wishes sumthing to lubricate the throat and. mouth, ar 
all they should take until the hiccofs hav entirely sub- 
sided. 

Taking very deep breths and holding the breth asl long 
as possibl also acts wonderfully in overcumming the 
spasms connected with hiccof. 

Chiropractic adjustment wil often cure hiccof in one 
minit. 

Pulling the tung out and rubbing it with the inside of 
the pulp of a lemon peel wil also often cure hiccof in les 
than a minit. 

A sudden start given to the patient wil also stop the 
spasms of hiccof almost instantly. 
Hospitals. 

If a person is in a strange city and is suddenly taken 
W or meets with an injury, a hospital is the only practical 
place in which they can be taken care of, but if a 
person has an apartment or a home or any place to go 
besides a regular hospital, I would advize them to always 
shun the hospital. The way many of the hospitals* in the 
big cities ar organized and ownd by surgeons, or their 
frends, makes them dangerus places. 

one hundred ninety-nine 



If one can find a naturopathic, or nature-cure, instit- 
ution, I would advize them to always seek them rather 
than the "orthodox hospital." 

The serums, vaccins, drugging and cutting resorted to 
in these organized hospitals is a crime against society and 
a disgrace to civilization. 

If a woman is in a strange place and has to be deliverd, 
I would advize her to seek out a "maternity home" or 
a "maternity cottage" rather than the regular hospital. 
If one is in their own home and no great impediments 
prevent their being confined there, I always advize them 
to keep away from the hospitals and hav the confinement 
in their own home, whether the obstetrician likes it or not. 

Insanity 

No dout insanity is on the increas, but so is the insane 
way of treating peopl on the increas. 

If our public pres would becum more sane, and our 
public officials would seek to cheer peopl rather than 
frighten them, and if our boards of "helth" would work 
to create helth rather than dis-eas, there would be les 
insanity. 

Veneral diseases ar probably responsibl for a great 
proportion of our cases of insanity. Until the public is 
educated against wars and lust, venereal diseases wil be on 
the increas. Political doctors* propaganda to prevent 
venereal diseases is a gigantic camouflage and is one of 
the "end products" of the World War, and with such 
"end products" insanity is sure to increas. 

Right living, right eating and right teaching in our 
institutions of lerning wil do more to prevent insanity 
than anything else. j. 

I believ there ar more insane peopl outside of the 
institutions for the insane than there ar in them. 

The political doctors who ar parading about our public 
scools and universities, pretending to teach the students 

two hundred 



right living, ar far more dangcrus than the worst lunatics 
to be found in insane asylums. 

Inflammation 

Inflammation is a condition of the tissues folloing an 
irritation. It is caracterized by pain, heat, redness and 
swelling. 

No inflammation can exist without stasis — a stopping 
or damming up of the fluid circulation. 

No one can hav a dis-easd state of the tissues without 
inflammation, and no one can hav inflammation without 
the sloing up or stoppage of the circulation known as 
statis. Consequently one cannot hav any inflammatory 
condition without statis. Hence the ultimate end of all 
treatments and procedures is to reliev inflammation — 
to reliev statis and allow the free circulation of fluids 
in the tissues. 

If inflammation has continued a long time, it is known 
as cronic inflammation, and with that fibrus tissue forms. 
That is why one has adhesions with cronic inflammation. 

The diet as outlined in this book is the diet for all 
inflammatory conditions. For reducing local inflammation 
heat is the great remedy. Radiant, or light heat is much 
better than the dark heat; the former is gotten from the 
sun or electric lights and the latter from hot aplications. 
There is just as much difference between light heat and 
dark heat as there is between heat at nite and heat of a 
bright sunny day. When possibl, use powerful, radiant 
light for the heat to reduce inflammation. If that cannot 
be obtaind, use hot compresses known as hot stupes and 
in the hot water from which the clothes ar wrung, it is 
wel to put in oil of eucaliptus, a teaspoonful to the quart. 
This is known as eucaliptus stupes. 

A dry compress can also be used to reduce inflammation 
and one of the best is salt put into a bag and heated in the 
oven and put over the inflamed tissues as hot as can be 
borne. To make the salt compress hold its heat longer, a 

two hundred ene 



hot water bag, or hot bottls, can be used on the salt bags. 
Inflammation in the ear is best treated by means of 
radiant light, but if that cannot be obtaind the hot salt 
bags ar the best. 

Insomnia (Sleeplessness) 

In the first place, the diet must be regulated and no 
food or drink taken, except as wil be outlined, within 
three hours before retiring. 

See that there is a ground wire placed under the under 
sheet, as illustrated in Fig. 44. 

If the person has hy blood pressure, hed the bed east 
or west, but if they hav a lo blood pressure, hed it north 
or south. 

Just before retiring, soak the feet wel in hot water, 
having one tablspoonful of epsom salts to the gallon of 
water. Then wipe the feet wel and rub the whole body 
over with a dry Turkish towel. 

Just before getting into bed, eat a handful of freshly 
popt, plain popcorn, taking plenty of time to masticate 
it. Hav a bag or dish of the popcorn right by the bed 
and thoroly masticate and swallo a few pieces of it every 
time yu wake up. It will not be many nites before yu 
wil not wake up to get the u midnite dose" of popcorn. 

Kidny Diseases 

The only sensibl treatment for kidny diseases is diet, 
and the diet outlined in this book covers the ground. 

For auxiliary treatment, powerful radiant light as wel 
as chiropractic or osteopathic treatments ar of great 
value.

MATERNAL IMPRESSIONS 

The person who says he does not believ that impres- 
sions made upon the mother before the child is born has 
any effect upon it, should be clast with the "ultra-sientist," 
a specimen of which I once had in one of my lectures in 
the Middl West. He told me that he would believ noth- 
ing that he could not prove out by the microscope or 1 sum 
laboratory test. All else, he said, was imaginary or 
mithical. 

I askt him if he had ever ownd a dog and he said he 
had. I askt him if he had ever lost the dog in a crowd, 
and he said he had. I askt him how that dog found him, 
and his reply was, "Why, by the scent." I askt him if 
he wer abl to do the same and he replied he was not. I 
told him that I had seen sum Indians who could do it. 
I then askt him if he had ever been abl to isolate his 
own track on a sidewalk where hundreds of others had 
past over it, and if he could examin that track under the 
microscope or could find out what the emanations wer 
that made the dog abl by "instinct," or by any other 
faculty, to track his master. 

I askt him if he wer abl to tel from the analisis of a 
tear whether it wer causd by sorro or joy. 

To all this he could make no reply. 

I hav had ampl proof that pre-natal influence has more 
to do with the offspring of any animal, including the 
human, than anyone ever givs it credit for. 

I hav seen pregnant mares chased by dogs or in sum 
manner frightend, and their colts wer shy and often 
unbreakabl. From the same mares the foal would be 
natural in every way when no disturbing influence had 
been present during gestation. 

I hav observd the same fenomenon among cows. If 
they wer kindly treated during gestation, the calvs would 

two hundred three 



be gentl, but if the cows wer frightend or treated un- 
kindly, the calvs would sho the' bad effects. 
The same is true of dogs, cats and poultry. 

If a slut is abused or whipt severely while pregnant, 
she wil giv birth to pups that ar always slinking off as 
if afraid to sho themselvs. 

I remember that at one time one of our family cats 
was brot up with one of the dogs. Altho this cat's kittens 
wer born and livd in the barn yet they wer never afraid 
of the dog. Sum might say it was becaus of the exampl 
of the mother, but sum of the kittens wer taken away 
before they saw the mother with the dog. This same cat 
was once terribly frightend by one of the dogs and shaken 
up badly when she was pregnant. The kittens would 
fight this particular dog every chance they got, but never 
botherd any of the other dogs. This was not becaus of 
the exampl of the mother iether, as they wer taken from 
the mother when very yung. 

I hav observd that if hens wer chased more or les by 
dogs, their chicks would be very much frightend by a 
dog, while if these same hens wer not frightend, their 
chicks would not act so. 

I hav also observd this fenomenon in humans. One of 
the first cases on which I was ever sent was to a woman 
who was about to giv birth to a child. The fetus was 
fully matured, but was the shape of a woodchuck and 
coverd with hair. It lookt more like a woodchuck than 
a child. Fortunately the child did not liv. The mother 
did not kno about the condition of the child, but a few 
weeks subsequent she remarkt to me that perhaps it was 
all for the best that the child did not liv becaus she was 
terribly frightend once by a woodchuck when she was 
carrying the child, and she was afraid the child might hav 
a bad temper had it livd. She said she was going into 
her kitchen one day when she saw a woodchuck behind 
the stove, and she couldn't seem to get over the fright. 

twe hundred four 



At another time I saw a child about five years old that 
had severe spasms at a certain period of the year. I askt 
the mother if anything had occurd during gestation that 
had preyd on her mind. She said there was only one 
thing and that was the fright she once recievd when she 
saw a big snake and stood spelbound while the yung 
snakes ran down the mother's throat. It was during that 
period of the year that the child had the "spels." 

Another child, a girl of thirteen years of age, was a 
sexual pervert. The mother's history was that sum 
irritation during the last six months of her pregnancy 
causd her to be a nvmfomaniac. 

Another girl about eighteen years of age, was so 
afraid of dogs with red, shaggy hair that she would 
run screaming if one came in sight. I lernd that the 
mother, when about six months pregnant with this child, 
was frightend almost into a state of collapse by a dog 
having red, shaggy hair. No other kind of dog frightend 
this girl. 

I hav seen cuntry-born children who wer abnormally 
afraid of cattl, and in each instance I lernd that the 
mother had been frightend by a bull when carrying the 
child. Often this particular child would be the only one 
in a large family that was afraid of cattl. 

One woman wanted her children to be musicians. She 
was a cuntry girl and had no special training in music. 
When she became pregnant, she studid music, taking 
piano lessons and studying harmony. Her littl girl very 
erly showd a liking for music and would often sit for 
hours listening to her mother sing or play. She became 
a very accomplisht musician. 

Another mother tried the same plan to hav a child who 
loved art. Altho not an artist, she commenst to study 
drawing and landscape sketching as soon as she was preg- 
nant, and kept at it until the child was born. That child 
became an accomplisht artist. When she was a very small 

two hundred fuve 



child she would draw pictures that did not hav to be 
labeld. _ 

I believ a mother can mold her child almost as she 
wishes, provided she knows how and wil aply herself. 

One of the most interesting cases that I hav recently 
seen recorded is that by Dr. W. F. Schrader of Ft. 
Wayne, Ind. His experiences ar related in the American 
Journal of Clinical Medicine of Dec. 1919. He said that 
he became interested in raising canaries, as he loved to 
see them watch over and rear their broods. I quote in 
part from his articl: 

"In the seven years of my experience with canaries, not 
all the chicks hatcht wer raisd, but I never found a cripl 
or a deformd chick among the many scores of nurslings. 

"During the last, the eighth season, I mated only five 
pairs. The canary is not strictly a monogamus bird as 
is the pigeon, but I never permit promiscuous matings. 
I hav kept the same birds mated thruout the nesting 
period of usually from four to six broods. 

"The breeding cages remaind in the same location. 
The environments remaind nearly the same, and the food 
and care varies only according to conditions. 

"By the first week in July of this year, three of the 
matings had each resulted in two broods, and the hens 
had their nests redy for a third laying of egs. 

"At this time the aviation department was recruited 
here and one of their flyers made daily flights over the 
city. Whenever the great hawk-like appearing machine 
could be seen by the birds, the males would whistl a terri- 
fying cry of danger, and almost instantly every bird in 
the room, old and yung, would be huddled in sum part 
of their cages, trying to hide, trembling with fear and 
fright. 

"At the end of the week, the three nests held twelv 
egs, all laid during the time of the aviator's daily flights. 
Seven of the egs hatcht. The others had not been fertil- 
ized. Every chick of the seven was deformd. Three had 

two hundred six 



no anal vents and died within a few days. Two had extra 
pairs of wings with immobil joints. These remaind in 
extension continuously and brot to mind at once the wing 
in the usual illustration of 'wingd Mercury.' These 
extra wings wer attacht at the very apex of the sholders. 
The legs of the other two wer twisted and held at ful 
length beneath the bodies like legs of wading birds in 
flight. 

"The same three pairs of parent birds hav raisd two 
broods each since and there was not a cripl or deformd 
chick among them. 

"The fact related in the foregoing, having occurd in 
the family of ovipara, suplies the nearest possibl evidence 
favoring the actual operation of maternal impressions 
that has cum within my observation." 

Dr. Schrader in the January, 1921, number of Clinical 
Medicine ads this subsequent report: 

Owing to the wide interest arousd by my articl on 
"Maternal Impressions," I am prompted to submit a 
report of sum observations made during the breeding 
season of my canaries this year (1920), which ended 
several months ago. 

A short time before the mating season opend, I aban- 
dond part of my plans made for their care, and placed 
the same pairs of birds in the same cages in the exact 
locations occupied last year when the fenomena which 
I reported occurd. 

Seeing an airplane in flight over the city had becum 
quite a common incident by the time nesting began this 
season, and the birds appeard no longer to hav fear of 
them, tho, folloing a warning note of the male, absolute 
silence would succede at times for the period of a ful 
minit. 

I do not often indulge in airplane excursions. How- 
ever, when the nest bilding which preceded the third 
clutches of egs was in progress, a period corresponding to 
that of last year wherein the deformd chicks developt, I 

two hundred seven 



went out on an airplane excursion, and directed my pilot 
so that we soard near the bilding in which my offis was 
located, and much lower than in usual flights. 

The results of this nesting wer as folios : 

Hen No. 1 laid five egs, hatcht three, one chick im- 
perfect. 

Hen No. 2 laid three egs, hatcht one, deformd. 

Hen No. 3 laid four egs, hatcht two, one imperfect. 

The number of egs in these clutches was irregular, and 
this was a lo percentage of hatch compared with other 
nestings. Three of the six chicks wer. imperfect. The 
one from nest No. 2 had the outstretcht wings, joints wer 
ankylosed, and the legs sprawld to the rear, as had the 
two chicks mentiond in the preceding report. The other 
two had imperforate ani. This latter condition has been 
observd occasionally in past seasons, but these two wer 
the only instances of this year in a total of seventy chicks 
hatcht. 

It may be interesting to mention here that canaries 
act upon "the-survival-of-the-fittest" theory and put it into 
practis, for in several instances I hav known parents to 
kil the weaklings before the end of a week from the 
hatching date. The deformd chick from nest No. 2 was 
kild by the parents when ten days old. 

Matings 1 and 2 nested twice folloing and No. 3 once 
after, having normal hatches and no cripls. 

In connection with this effort, which I cannot term a 
"test," a number of questions arize such as, wer the mat- 
ings of last season the proper birds for us, or should 
birds not accustomd to the sight of a plane hav been 
used? Was it fair to introduce the intentional flight? 
However, comparing my carefully kept records of this 
season with that of last and my memory records of other 
seasons, I seem to find evidence supporting the maternal- 
impression theory.

Measls 

My treatment for measls is the same as for chicken- 
pox, with the exception that the patient's eyes must be 
protected by dark glasses for at least three weeks after 
he is out. 

Menstruation {Menses or Monthlies). 

Nothing influences a woman's monthly flo more than 
diet. Sumtimes one who flows very profusely can be 
cured entirely by cutting down the diet and living on raw 
food as outlined in this book. Often a person wil skip 
one or two months when changing from hevy cookt 
food to the raw food, but they need not worry about 
that as they wil be a great deal better when they begin 
flowing again. 

The "scanty" flo need not worry anyone as long as 
it is their habit. Sum sientists think that if a few gener- 
ations livd entirely on raw food in moderate amounts, 
the "monthly period" would not last more than twenty- 
four hours with any normal woman. They hav made 
their deductions from the menstrual change that cums 
about in women who take up the raw diet. 

The word "unwel" should never be used for the 
natural, monthly flo. It givs a rong suggestion and makes 
the yung girl think that she is "sick" when in reality she 
is only having a natural function carrid on. It is no more 
unnatural in a helthy, normal woman than the movement 
of the bowels. 

Many ask me if they should bathe during the monthly 
periods. I always anser in the affirmativ. There is no 
reason why a warm bath should interfere with the 
monthly flo. I never advize cold baths in any condition, 
and certainly would not during the menstrual period. 

Many girls from the time they begin their monthly flo 
ar taut that they ar "sick" and should go to bed. This 
suggestion goes with them and before they realize it, 
they ar "a-quarter-time" invalid. 

two hundred nine 



A yung girl should start her flo without pain and 
should be that way all her life, and my experience is that 
she can be if she livs rightly. Proper exercizing and 
proper diet wil control the menstrual flo if the woman is 
anatomically normal. If she is not, she should be 
made so. 

Metabolism 

The word, metabolism, is now being used so much 
in the public pres that many would like to kno what it 
means. It is from the Greek word metabola which means 
a change. Hence in nutrition, it means "the change pro- 
duced in the substance by the action of living eels upon it; 
the process by which living eels or organisms incorporate 
the matters obtaind from food into a part of their own 
bodies." 

The term, basal metabolism, is also being used a good 
deal just now. This means "energy metabolism determind 
from fourteen to eighteen hours after eating and when 
the individual is at rest but not sleeping." 

In short, the term metabolism, when used in connection 
with nutrition, really means nutrition — the utilization 
of food by the body and the discard of refuse. 

In this connection we hav constructiv metabolism and 
destructiv metabolism — the one meaning the change of 
matter from a lower to a hyer state of organization; 
the other meaning the conversion of matter into a lower 
state of organism and ultimately into waste products. 

Mumps 

This condition can be handld entirely by diet with the 
addition of hot aplications about the throat. The only 
diet that I recommend in mumps is a hot tea made from 
Marmite (Vegex) or Herb-ex. If one cannot get them, 
they can use very thin hot teas made from prunes, raisins, 
figs, or dates. These "teas" ar very soothing and ar 
amply sustaining. 

Keep the bowels open.

Music — Its Effect on Helth 

Music is the decoration of thot. The rithm of music 
decorates sentiment. Music can be used as a vehicl for 
transferring impressions to the sick or wel. 

Music as a therapeutic agent has been used for 
centuries, and we often read of the sick leaving their beds, 
being borne as it wer upon the rithmical waves of music. 

Often one near deth can be rousd by strains of music 
that strike to their inmost soul. 

I believ the time wil cum when music in connection with 
color wil be used widely as a remedy for dis-eas. Music 
and color ar truly interchangeabl and belong to the finer 
forces of Nature, and as such can enter mental labarinths 
that no other agency can. 

Neumonia 

I cannot emfasize enuf the diet in neumonia. 

While there is a fever, giv nothing but water or fruit 
juices. 

Keep the body warm and quiet in bed. Allow plenty of 
fresh air in the room. 

Keep the bowels open by means of baking-soda enemas. 

Do not allow the patient to leav the bed until several 
days after all fever has subsided. If the fever has been 
at 105° F., or thereabouts, and if it has lasted for several 
days (which rarely happens if these directions ar fol- 
lowd) then keep the patient quiet in bed for at least three 
weeks after all fever has subsided. Do not allow the 
patient to even rize up in bed during this time. Being 
quiet in bed after the fever has subsided is of paramount 
importance. It is getting up too soon that causes so much 
trubl. 

Iodin therapy is nearly always indicated in cases of 
neumonia. 

An ointment made as folios and rubd on the chest 
two times a day in cases of neumonia works wonders. 
The tecnic is to rub into the skin over the chest all that 

two hundred eleven 



can be rubd in in twenty minits. Then wipe the chest dry 
of the residue, becaus it is irritating to the skin. 

Continue these rubs until the lungs hav becum normal.

NICOTIN, The Demon 

Space forbids my going into discussing the effects of 
nicotin upon the body. The Seventh Edition of my Lec- 
ture Course to Physicians has much to say regarding the 
effects of nicotin upon the body, and those who wish to 
get reliabl information on the subject may refer to that 
volume. 

I might say, however, that the time wil cum when the 
use of cigarets wil be prohibited just as much as the use 
of intoxicating liquors is now prohibited. I do not believ 
the general public kno of the terribl calamity that cigaret 
smoking is to our land. How a self-respecting man or 
woman, especially of the educated or professional clas, 
can deliberately take up cigaret smoking and then con- 
tinue it, is a mistery to me. I understand that many con- 
tract the habit just to u settl the nervs," but like other 
dopes, it leads to nervs more unsettld after every smoke. 
I hav charity for those who contract the habit, but for 
those who wil continue setting the awful exampl to the 
yung, words ar too inadequate to express condemnation. 

The cigaret habit is a terribl indictment against Amer- 
ica with all her resources for lerning and enlitenment. 

I am informd that far more mony was expended in 
the U. S. during 1920 for cigarets than was paid to all 
teachers in every line of education in the U. S. for the 
same period. This is a terribl blot and reckoning wil 
surely hav to be made. The Opium habit is nothing in 
comparison with the cigaret habit. 

How any self-respecting publications can publish ad- 
vertizments of the deth-dealing cigaret, I do not under- 
stand. It only shows to what a lo eb commercialism has 
brot not only the publishers but the public. 

No one knows more about the baneful effects of cigar- 
ets and other forms of nicotin than the physician, yet I 
hav seen many physicians who would be considerd normal 

two hundred thirteen 



in intellect wer it not for the fact that they used both 
cigarets and tobacco.

Obesity 

Obesity if very pronounst is a dis-eas, and the only 
natural method for curing it is regulating the diet, using 
a minimum amount of food for a maximum amount of 
exercize. 

Auxiliary mesures for reducing fat ar illustrated in this 
book. The powerful, radiant lights, along with traction 
as shown in Fig. 92, the electric light bath cabinet as 
shown in Fig. 80, the won- 
derful Bergonie ergo-thera- 
peutic apparatus shown in 
Fig. 108, the pulsoidal or 
the slo-sinusoidal modality 
as illustrated in Fig. 109, 
and the oscillating modality 
as shown in Fig. 98 ar all 
auxiliary methods for 
reducing fat. 

No matter what aux- 
iliary mesure is used for 
reducing fat, the diet must 
be reduced and regulated 
or the fat wil very quickly 
return when the auxiliary 
mesures ar discontinued. 

Deep breathing exercizes ar also of great benefit in 
reducing adipose tissue. 

The exercizes outlined in this book, if persisted in, wil 
also reduce fat in a remarkabl degree. 

No matter what the mesure for reducing fat, one must 
bear in mind the fact that the utilization of the fat must 
be greater than the intake or else a reduction of weight 
wil not take place. 

There ar cases where a person becums obese without 
any apparent caus when on a diet. This is a diseas of 




two hundred fifteen 



the internal secretions and can often be remedid by 
ascertaining just what raw foods wil rectify the condi- 
tion. This has to be taken up with each individual patient 
and requires much painstaking testing to find out just 
what foods ar required to rectify this misterius condition, 
which as a rule was first causd by errors in diet. 

See Addenda. 
Paralisis 

The best method of treating paralisis, including infan- 
tile paralisis, is by the pulsoidal current, as illustrated in 




Figure 109 v f ' ^' 

Figs. 100 and 101. This method in conjunction with 
powerful radiant light and proper diet wil, as a rule, 
correct the majority of cases of infantile paralisis and 
wil greatly help those who ar afflicted with any type of 
paralisis. 
Parotid Gland. 

Parotiditis, inflammation of the parotid gland (gland 
just in front of the ear) is often cald mumps when it is 
not. A person can hav mumps with very littl inflammation 



two hundred sixteen 



of the parotid gland, but in such cases the inflammation 
usually extends to the testicls or ovaries. 

All cases of mumps sho an inflammation of the parotid 
gland, but not all cases of inflammation of the parotid 
gland ar mumps. They ar often only a reflex from the 
generativ organs. 

The best method of differentiating between mumps and 
a reflex from the generativ organs is to giv acid fruit 
juices. If they caus pain when swallowd, the case can 
usually be diagnosed as mumps. 

The best way to treat parotiditis is the same as for 
treating mumps, namely, put the patient on a fast and 
giv nothing but water or Vegex or Herb-ex, as mentiond 
under "Mumps" 

Powerful radiant light over the side of the face and 
over the ovaries or testicls, or hot compresses over these 
regions, ar great aids. 

"Patent* Medians 

Many of the "orthodox" medical journals condem 
"patent" medicins, but it is a strange thing that a great 
many "orthodox" physicians prescribe these patent 
medicins and get most of their information regarding 
treating their patients from these patent-medicin circulars. 

My advice to my patients is to pay no attention to any 
widely advertized medicin. As a rule, any medicin that 
is widely advertized to sel for a dollar costs les than 
sixteen cents. I obtaind this information from those who 
manufacture the patent medicins. 

Sum of our largest drug and medicin manufacturers 
make medicins for "orthodox" physicians and at the very 
same time make the very same articl for the big adver- 
tizers to sel to the public. In such instances the physician 
is being humbugd, he is humbugging his patients, and 
others ar being humbugd by the newspapers or magazines 
that ar advertizing the product. 

two hundred seventeen 



Such doings as these ar what ar putting the nature-cure 
physicians and institutions in the limelight. 

The institutions that ar teaching the yung would-be 
physicians that Nature is rong, rather than teaching them 
where humans ar rong, ar the "orthodox" institutions. 

Natural methods and only natural methods wil stand 
the tests and wil survive after all other sis terns hav been 
forgotten. 

Pelvic Diseases 

Diet is the keynote to the treatment of pelvic diseases 
in both men and women. 

Walking on-all-fours is one of the best exercizes there 
is for this condition. 

The nee-chest position for the woman, after letting air 
into the vagina thru a tube, allows the uterus to fall for- 
ward and is of great benefit if taken on retiring. The 
position should be held for about fifteen minits each nite. 
For men with congestion of the prostate or other pelvic 
organs, the nee-chest position is also of great benefit. 

Lying on a couch, the foot of which is elevated twelv 
inches higher than the hed, wil allow gravity to aid a 
great deal toward relieving congestion in the pelvic 
organs. 

Fig. 110 shows a tabl tilted in this manner. 
The majority of all pelvic diseases ar brot about by 
being too long at a time in the 
upright position. In other words, 
if we walkt on-all-fours more or 
lay more on the abdomen with the 
pelvis higher than the hed, a great 
deal of this congestion could be 
Figure 110 overcum. 

Many pelvic diseases ar started by having the baby 
lie on the back. (See p. 158.) 

I do not believ any man has ever been cured of pros- 
tatic diseas as long as his sistem is ful of nicotin or alco- 

tw0 hundred eighteen 




hoi. Nicotin poisoning weakens the vessels in the body 
and is a prime factor in causing congestion in the pelvic 
organs. 

Powerful radiant light over the small of the back and 
over the genitals is of great value in relieving pelvic 
conditions. Chiropractic and osteopathic treatments ar 
also of great help in relieving pelvic dis-eases. 

Keep the bowels open. 

Perspiration 

I am often consulted as to how to prevent perspiration 
under the arms or on other parts of the body. It is natural 
for everyone to perspire under the arms and varius parts 
of the body, and to try to prevent it is injurius. If a 
person perspires too freely, it is a dis-eas. Diet, exercize 
and hygien wil rectify any caus of over-abundant perspir- 
ation (hyperidrosis, ephidrosis or sudatoria). 

Pneumonia (See Neumonia) 
Pruritus (Itching) 

Itching on any part of the body is very annoying and 
leads to extreme nervusness. It is especially bad when 
about the genitals or anus. 

This condition can be cured by diet and hygien. As an 
auxiliary mesure for rapidly stopping this aggravating 
condition, the actinic rays from the quartz, mercury-vapor 
lamps excel all others. One treatment by means of these 
powerful, chemical rays, wil temporarily stop the worst 
forms of itching about the genitals and anus, but it wil not 
cure the condition. The only way of curing the condition 
is by diet and hygien. 

Psoriasis (See Soriasis) 
Sexual Disorders 

Sexual disorders in both male and female ar best 
treated by diet, exercize and hygien. 

Nearly all sexual dis-eases ar causd by indiscretions 
iether in habits or diet, or both. 

two hundred nineteen 



Many times sexual disorders ar implanted in the baby 
and gro until maturity, warping the whole life. 

Feeding meat and hyly seasond foods, and an over- 
abundant amount of cane sugar, or white flour, ar sum 
of the dietetic errors. 

Hygien in the way of clenliness and dres is also another 
very important factor. 

Lewd dancing and "racy" dressing ar potent causes 
for sexual disorders. 

Reading novels of a sensual caracter or witnessing 
"racy movies," is one of the great causativ factors for 
sexual derangement. 

In other words, keeping the mind right and thinking 
rightly, ar very important factors in preventing sexual 
disorders; and in curing them the mind must be gotten 
right or the body wil never be right. 

Constipation is also a causativ factor of sexual dis- 
orders. 

If there ar any anatomical errors about the sexual 
organs, they should be rectified by one experienst in that 
line of work. Experience has taut me that a great many 
of the sexual disorders ar causd by the parents not hav- 
ing certain impediments about the sexual organs rectified 
when the child was a baby. 

By carefully folloing out the rules for diet, hygien 
and exercizes outlined in this book, the majority of all 
sexual diseases can be prevented as wel as cured. 



X-ray fads ar putting thousands of "X's" into quack's pouches.

SIFILIS (The Great Red Plague) 

Sifilis is the scourge of civilization, and the fact that 
it is running such awful riot is a blot upon the medical 
profession as wel as upon all those in political authority. 
It is a crime against humanity that organized medicin, 
or political medicin, or state medicin, is advizing physi- 
cians to send patients to public laboratories for "Wasser- 
mann tests" to see whether they hav sifilis or not. 

The Wassermann test is no more reliabl than the toss- 
ing up of a penny to see which way it wil fall. All those 
who hav used the Wassermann test kno this but, becaus 
of commercialism and wicked propaganda, the public 
has been camouflaged to believ that it is reliabl, and the 
"helth" departments, rather than admit that again they 
hav made a tremendus error, keep this gigantic deception 
intact. 

Even The Journal of the American Medical Asso- 
ciation, which is the official journal of what is popularly 
known as "the great medical trust," in its Jan. 1, 1921, 
issue prints an articl ritten by four experienst in Wasser- 
mann tecnic, stating that "As regards the patient it has 
been pointed out repeatedly that the ingestion of even 
small amounts of alcohol within twenty-four hours of 
withdrawal of the blood may produce a false negativ 
reaction. Fever may occasion a false positiv. 

"Herz has described this in connection with neumonia, 
and we hav observd in other febril conditions that 
during the height of the febril period a positiv reaction 
occurd while a few days later the same individual in an 
a-febril state gave a negativ reaction. 

"There is a group of diseases such as yaws, malarial 
relapsing fever, yello fever, tubercular leprosy, scarlet 
fever, Vincent's angina, etc. in which occasionally non- 
specific positiv reactions ar said to occur." 

two hundred twenty-one 



At great length they giv the reasons why the Wasser- 
mann test is absolutely unreliabl, it being made positiv 
or negativ by so many different factors. Even the inges- 
tion of a large amount of sugar in confectionery wil sum- 
times caus a sifilitic to giv a negativ Wassermann, while 
the ingestion of other kinds of food, and especially nico- 
tin, wil make the tests unreliabl. 

With all these facts before the "helth" departments, 
physicians ar stil urged to hav Wassermann tests made 
by the public laboratories, and use their findings to iether 
quiet or frighten their patients. 

The Wassermann test in reality is a propaganda for 
the spredding of fear, and the public ought to kno it. I 
hav publisht many lengthy articls regarding my experience 
with sifilis and to sho the utter failure of every "ortho- 
dox" sistem of diagnosing this diseas. 

The treatment of sifilis by mercury or arsenic in the 
form of "606" or Salversan has in most instances, causd 
a worse condition than the first. The simptoms wil appar- 
ently be hidden very quickly after such treatment, but I 
hav known of cases, that wer apparently cured, having a 
severe relapse, and the second condition was worse than 
the first, ten to twenty years after it was supposed to 
hav been cured. 

The public would be appald and stund if it had the 
faintest idea of the number of persons kild by the use 
of Salvarsan. Other names ar being substituted to further 
deciev the confiding believers in "helth boards." 

I believ sifilis can be cured, but it can be cured only 
by natural, dopeless methods, I hav not livd long enuf 
to kno whether cases treated by the natural methods wil 
recur becaus, as sum say, we would hav to liv two or 
three generations to be sure of this, but my experience 
is that if one folios out a diet as outlined in this book, 
and folios out hygienic mesures as outlined for tuber- 
culosis, they get over all the simptoms of sifilis and to 
all intents and purposes ar wel. If it does take a littl 

two hundred twenty-two 



longer to hav the simptoms abate, there is the assurance 
that one is not being poisoned by the dedly drugs — mer- 
cury and arsenic. I do not believ any good, lasting effects 
can be had by loading the sistem with one poison to get rid 
of another poison. It is entirely unnatural. 

The B-D-C sistem of diagnosis wil diagnose sifilis 
within twenty-four hours after inoculation, and wil de- 
tect it fifty years after it is supposed to hav been cured. 

The reports that there is a preventiv for sifilis ar false. 
There is no preventiv. It is a blot upon our war record 
that so many of our men wer led to believ that they could 
"take chances" and stil not take sifilis. These men ar 
now filling our institutions as cripls and derelicts from 
the awful scourge of sifilis. 

Skin Diseases 

Skin diseases of all descriptions ar best cured by follo- 
ing out the diet as outlined in this book. Powerful, radi- 
ant light, along with the actinic rays, is the specific 
treatment for all manner of skin diseases. 

Soriasis (Psoriasis) 

Soriasis is a very aggravating skin diseas said by many 
to be incurabl. However, it can be cured by means 
of diet, hygien and the actinic rays from the quartz, 
mercury-vapor lamps. 

Altho this skin condition can be cured in a few months, 
yet it wil return if the person goes back to the method 
of living that brot it on. Therefore the only way to 
remain cured is to adhere to a strict diet, and that outlined 
in this book I hav found to be the best. 

Spitting (Expectoration) 

Nature secretes the saliva for a definit purpose, and 
the habit of spitting is injurius to the helth. Nothing is 
more disgusting than to see a person spitting all the time. 
Children should be taut to not do it unless there is sum 

two hundred twenty-three 



abnormal secretion from the hed, and then they should 
not expectorate where it wil be offensiv to anyone. 

The excessiv chewing of gum over-develops the salivary 
glands and produces diseasd glands with many. The only 
cure is to stop excessiv chewing. 

Tobacco users often get into the habit of continual 
spitting, which is detrimental to their helth and obnoxious 
to others. 

Sterility 

Many women want to becum mothers but cannot. The 
majority of cases of sterility ar causd by gonorrea having 
set up an inflammatory condition in the fallopian tubes. 
This shuts off the entrance of the ovum into the uterus. 
Any condition that produces inflammation in the ovaries 
and tubes is a potent factor in producing sterility. 

Another caus of sterility is the acid secretion in the 
vagina. If the secretion in the vagina givs an acid 
reaction, it destroys the motil power of the secretion from 
the male. 

A great many cases of sterility can be cured by proper 
diet and exercize and other natural means. 

Walking on-all-fours is a great aid in overcumming 
sterility. 

Surgery 

Constructiv surgery is of great benefit, but destructiv 
surgery, which has now becum so prevalent, is a great 
blot upon the medical profession. 

My advice is to try everything else before attempting 
to hav any condition rectified by a surgical operation. It 
is better to er toward the safe side than to be hasty in 
having sumthing cut out that cannot be put back. 

Surgery has becum so commercialized that the patient 
must be always on gard when a surgical operation is 
advized. 

However, there ar cases where operations ar imperativ 

two hundred twenty-four 



and it is not sensibl to refuse to hav done what is really 
necessary. 

Tonsils 

The pernicious practis of taking out children's tonsils 
is a crime. In sum places we read of every scool child 
having their tonsils removed. This pernicious practis 
should be delt with the same as murder. 

Enlarged tonsils ar causd by rong eating and rong 
breathing. It is very easy to prevent any trubl with the 
tonsils. If parents understood how to instruct their 
children to eat and breathe, there would be no such thing 
as enlarged tonsils or adenoids. 

The tonsils ar put at the gateway of the respiratory and 
alimentary tracts as gards, and if they becum inflamed it 
is becaus they ar overworkt. That is, there is a toxic con- 
dition in the body, and nearly all of these toxic conditions 
ar causd by rong living. 

The cure for inflamed tonsils is proper diet and hygien. 
If, however, the tonsils hav been abused and hav becum 
hopelesly diseasd, there is nothing to do but to remove 
them.

TUBERCULOSIS (The Great White Blague) 

I hav said a great deal regarding tuberculosis in sum 
of my larger works, and wil only briefly tuch upon it 
here. 

The essential in preventing tuberculosis is correct liv- 
ing, eating and personal hygien. We all hav tubercl 
bacilli in our sistems and they ar simply waiting for the 
resistance of the body to be belo par to begin to 
propagate. 

I do not believ tuberculosis is "catching." If it wer, 
we would all hav it and the population of the world 
would long ago hav been extinct. 

I do not believ tuberculosis can be given by the animal 
to the human, nor vice versa. I believ they ar entirely 
different varieties and non-interchangeabl. 

Living in close quarters and bundling the body up- 
making a hothouse plant of oneself — and eating quan- 
tities of sugars and starches and meat ar no dout sum of 
the causes for tuberculosis. 

Inoculation of the body with serums and vaccins I 
believ is one of the prime factors in the propagation of 
tuberculosis. It is a noteworthy fact that in any com- 
munity where vaccination against smallpox or diftheria 
or tyfoid is used, the most tuberculosis and cancer ar in 
evidence. 

Tuberculin testing of humans or cattl is the caus of 
about fifty per cent, of new cases among those so tested. 
It is a crime worse than war. 

Altho tuberculosis has been the bane of so-cald civil- 
ization, yet the orthodox method of treating it today is 
almost the same as that ritten about by Greek physicians 
nearly two thousand years ago. 

Several hundred different methods of diagnosing and 
treating tuberculosis hav been followd in the last century, 
and every one has faild to giv beneficial results. There 

two hundred twenty-six 



is no need of going into the statistics regarding tuber- 
culosis. Insted of its being on the decreas, it is really 
on the increas, and the fact stands out in bold relief that 
the so-cald regular or standard methods for treating 
tuberculosis hav utterly faild. 

The only method that I kno about as being reliabl for 
the diagnosis of tuberculosis is the method known as the 
Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic method. Inasmuch as the finer 
forces in Nature ar utilized in this method of diagnosis, 
the most incipient stages can be diagnosed twenty-four 
hours after the tuberculus infection, or as soon as the on- 
slaut of the tubercl bacilli overpowers the resistance of 
the patient. 

Not only can the diseas itself be diagnosed, but the 
stage of the diseas can be diagnosed or, in other words, 
the ratio of the patient's strength to the power of the 
tuberculus infection can be mesured. 

During the past few years enuf cases of tuberculosis 
hav been diagnosed by my Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic 
method, and enuf physicians hav used it to prove it to 
be reliabl and practically 100% perfect. 

It is wel known that tfre prevailing method of treating 
tuberculosis is by forst feeding, especially with milk and 
egs. 

Becaus of the great mortality in the varius tuberculosis 
institutions, all manner of remedies hav been added to 
stay the plague, but in scarcely any has the method of 
diet been changed. 

It is wel known that the digestiv sistem is nearly always 
the first to giv the signal of the tuberculus infection. 
Waiting to see whether tubercl bacili ar found in the 
sputum is like waiting to see what the autopsy wil sho. 
Thousands of peopl die of tuberculosis and the deth cer- 
tificate is made out for almost every complaint other than 
tuberculosis, becaus the diagnostician was waiting for 
the tubercl bacilli to sho in the sputum. 

two hundred twenty-seven 



To treat tuberculosis by means of vaccins or serums, 
no matter under what names they ar used — tuberculin, 
anti-tuberculosis vaccin, etc. — is commercial. I believ 
that honest men ar using these methods thru ignorance, 
but they ar criminally negligent just the same if they do 
not seek the facts in the matter. Serums or vaccins hav 
done nothing but increas the ravages of tuberculosis. 

Diet and fresh air with proper exercizes for breathing 
play the important role in the treatment of tuberculosis. 

It is wel known that foods as they gro contain salts in 
natural and biologic combination. As has been previusly 
explaind, these naturally combined salts ar known as the 
vitamins. If, however, the food is cookt the vitamins ar 
destroyd; and the secret of feeding in an anemic diseas 
like tuberculosis is to hav the natural salts in natural com- 
bination. These vital elements that the animal economy 
needs, especially when suffering with tuberculosis, ar 
destroyd by cooking. 

Another fact that I wish to bring out is that raw egs 
ar very difficult to digest. It is also difficult for a tuber- 
culus person to digest milk. The idea that has been in 
vogue for centuries is that becaus the eg is composed of 
the constituent part of the chicken and becaus milk is the 
natural food for the yung, the combination of milk and 
egs wil giv the body resistance enuf to drive off the 
tuberculus infection. This I believ is a stupendus error, 
and the deth rate of tuberculus patients fed in this man- 
ner is enuf to prove that the method of feeding is radi- 
cally rong. 

I hav alredy stated under Dietetics the effects of cookt 
foods upon animals. The human animal, however, has 
been educated to believ that food must be cookt to make 
it more digestibl and "nourishing." 

For the diet in tuberculosis, I take away all egs and 
milk, all sugar and salt, and giv all the raw spinach, water- 
cres, alfalfa or red clover, parsly, dandelion, beet tops, 
and raw carrots that they can comfortably eat. I find that 

two hundred twenty-eight 



recovery is marvelusly enhanst by carrying out this simpl 
dietetic mesure. The very salts that ar absolutely essen- 
tial in the relief of tuberculosis ar containd in these raw 
salad herbs and roots. 

In fact, I giv the regular raw diet as outlined in this 
book and ad to it ground nuts as the patient's stomac be- 
cums strong enuf to tolerate them. / hav them eat often 
but in small amounts. This is infinitly better than feed- 
ing a large amount at long intervals. 

/ believ the diet and stuffing that ar popular for tuber- 
culus patients kil more than the diseas. 

I hav personally treated enuf patients with tuberculosis 
to kno that I am right in my opinion, and the reports of 
my pupils coincide with my own clinical experience. 

I hav patients expose their bodies to the sunlight all 
they can, beginning gradually to do so. If they ar not 
abl to do this, as an auxiliary mesure, I use powerful 
radiant light and the actinic rays, in combination, until the 
skin is wel tand. (Fig. 86.) 

I also hav the patient inhale oxigen vapor, and be- 
sides that I hav them use balsam breathing tubes and 
watch the increast capacity of their lungs. I always 
instruct them to use a spirometer. 

I do not put a patient with tuberculosis to bed unless 
they ar so weak they cannot get around. I let them take 
moderate exercizes in the open air to help them gain 
a real appetite. 



Truth wears no mask; bows at no human shrine; seeks niether 
place nor aplaus ; she only asks a hearing.

TUBERCULIN TESTING OF CATTL 

Just now great propaganda is being carrid on by poli- 
tical doctors and "helth" boards regarding the control 
of tuberculosis thru tuberculin testing of cows and breed- 
ing cattl. Inasmuch as I hav had over twenty-five years 
of practical experience in studying the question from all 
sides and kno intimately the inside facts behind this 
damnabl propaganda, I submit the folloing conclusions 
for my readers' gide: 

1. All manner of vaccins and serums ar so unnatural 
that the sistem of any natural animal wil rebel against 
them. Many wil rebel with such vehemence that they 
becum sick in their endevor to fight off their enemy. 

2. Just how any serum or vaccin wil react on any 
human or any animal is always uncertain. It is a shock 
to the sistem at best, and the shock wil affect sum more 
than others. 

3. Every cow is injured more or les by the injection 
of tuberculin. 

4. A sensitivly organized cow is irreparably damaged 
by the injection of tuberculin. 

5. A wel animal wil react to the tuberculin test as 
often as a sick animal. 

6. Cows fed just enuf to keep them in good condition 
wil very rarely react to the tuberculin test, but an over- 
fed cow wil nearly always react to it. 

7. A ful-bred cow is more liabl to react to the tuber- 
culin test than a "scrub' ' cow. 

8. A wel animal wil always react to an overdose of 
the serum. 

9. The tester can make any cow react or not to the 
tuberculin test. 

10. The immunity of an animal is lessend by the in- 
jection of tuberculin. 

two hundred thirty 



11. An animal is twice as liabl to contract tuberculosis 
or any other diseas after having been given the tuber- 
culin test. 

12. Lowering the resistance in humans or other ani- 
mals is a primary factor in causing tuberculosis to gain 
a foothold. 

13. All animals, humans included, harbor tubercl 
bacilli, and the latter ar only waiting for the resistance of 
their host to be lowerd to take advantage of the situation. 

14. If tuberculin itself does not caus tuberculosis, it 
is at least an important factor in causing it. 

15. In direct ratio with the tuberculin testing of cows 
wil be the increas of tuberculus cows. The increas of 
tuberculus cows in many States, bears out this assertion. 

16. In many States the los of cows from tuberculin 
testing has been so enormus that the farmers ar trying 
to get laws past to forbid its use. 

17. Many cows hav been slauterd after a multi- 
plication of tuberculin tests. In other words, sum animals 
wil not react to any serum or vaccin until their resistance 
has been broken down by the poison injected into them. 
It is like starving a person before putting him into the 
ring to fight. It makes him a quick and easy mark. 

18. Any veterinary who says that repeated tests of 
a herd can protect them against diseas is a fanatic and 
should be treated like any other lunatic. 

19. If an animal is abl to withstand the tuberculin 
test, it may hav tuberculosis in the worst form and stil 
not react. In others words, animals wil becum immune 
to the test, but the majority of them wil sooner or later 
die from the effects of the test. 

20. An animal is not "sensitized" to the tubercl bacilli 
or any of its products, if it is tuberculus. I hav seen all 
these "sensitizing sistems" workt out, and they hav all 
proved a failure. The biologic factor has to always be 
taken into consideration. What wil work with one wil 
not necessarily work with another. 

two hundred thirty-one 



21. Heald tuberculus lesions can be found in nearly 
every human or other animal at autopsy. 

22. Tuberculin injected into an animal evidently breaks 
down the tuberculus-lesion barriers and allows a new in- 
fection to take place. 

23. It has never been proved that tuberculosis is trans- 
missibl from humans to animals or from animals to 
humans. Personally I think it is not intercommunicabl. 

24. Tuberculosis has never been proved to be con- 
tagious nor infectious. If it wer, all life would hav been 
extinct ages ago. 

25. Many tests hav been made by having helthy per- 
sons eat food loaded with live tubercl bacilli, but there 
has never been an authentically recorded instance of the 
persons having contracted tuberculosis from so doing. 

26. Nature protects her creatures from taking diseas 
from eating germ-laden food, but if the resistance of the 
animal is lowerd and an opening (as by a needl) is made 
for infectious material to enter the blood stream, then 
any diseas is liabl to folio. 

27. Rudolph Virchow, the German scientist, one of the 
first to proclaim the "germ theory," told one of his pupils, 
and that pupil told me, that if he could liv his life over 
again, he would devote it to proving that the "germ 
theory" was rong and that the germ sought its natural 
habitat — diseasd tissue — -rather than causing the tissue to 
becum diseasd. He likend this to the mosquitos seeking 
the stagnant water, rather than causing the water to 
becum stagnant. 

28. Tuberculin injected into an animal is a very potent 
factor in causing the animal to becum the natural habitat 
for tubercl bacilli. 

29. The proof of tuberculosis, being present or absent 
is not made by finding or not finding tuberculus lesions 
at the autopsy. 

30. The veterinary is always redy to say that the 
animal must hav had tuberculosis or it would not hav 

two hundred thirty-two 



reacted, or "I told yu so" if the findings sho a tuberculus 
lesion. 

31. The tuberculin test wil not help eradicate tuber- 
culosis from cattl. The way to prevent any animal from 
having tuberculosis, or any other diseas, is to keep them 
in a helthy condition and not overfeed them. Overfeed- 
ing in humans or animals makes them susceptibl to any 
diseas. 

32. If the State reimburses the owner for his tuber- 
culus cows, many undesirabl cows ar sold to the State as 
being tuberculus and ar then sold again to the consumers 
of meat. This takes place whether the cows ar sick or 
wel, provided they do not pay as milkers. 

33. Commercialism and superstition ar back of the 
propagation of the tuberculin test. 

34. It is the literature gotten out by the manufacturers 
of vaccins and serums of any kind that is used as the 
basis of argument by those who wish to use them. 

35. Those who ar financially interested in the manufac- 
ture of tuberculin keep tuberculin testing going, as wel 
as those who deal in cattl and those who think they ar 
going to get more mony for their milk if the cows ar 
tuberculin tested. The advance price for milk produced 
by tuberculin-tested cows wil drop in direct ratio with 
the number of cows tested. So if all the cows in any 
State wer tuberculin tested, the price of the milk from 
those cows would drop to a lo level in a very short 
time. On top of this is the tremendus los in the herd. 

36. I believ the actual milk-producing period of a 
cow is shortend at least 50% by having the cow tuber- 
culin tested. 

37. Tuberculin testing of cows opens a very rich 
avenue for graft, and I hav proof that in sum cities this 
graft is carrid on in an enormus scale. 

38. Take all the profit out of the manufacture of 
vaccins and serums, and their use would soon be con- 
demd by all those who ar now using them. 

two hundred thirty-three 



39. Sanitation and hygien ar the only preventivs of 
any diseas, and the sooner the peopl wake up to this fact 
and kick out the "sientific" fanatic, the better it wil be for 
them, their families and their livestock. 

40. California with its incomparabl climate, of all 
States, is the one that should first prohibit the use of 
the tuberculin test.

Urin 

It is wel to hav the urin examind by a competent 
physician once or twice a year, so if albumin or sugar is 
in evidence the patient can be warnd, but this need not 
be thot of if one would eat and liv properly. 

Many persons becum neurotics by continually watching 
the urin, seeing it one color one day and another color 
another day, or cloudy one day and clear another. My 
advice to such peopl is to forget about the urin, liv rightly 
and think rightly, and the urin wil be right. 

Worry as wel as rong diet wil produce turbid urin. 

Urin — Retention of 

Retention of urin often takes place in inflammation 
of the urinary bladder — cystitis. It is causd iether by 
stoppage of the urethra or by a sagging or dilation of 
the bladder so as to weaken the expulsion musls. Gener- 
ally with a dilation of the bladder one has inflammation 
of the neck of the bladder, causd as a rule by urin being 
constantly retaind about its outlet. 

Cutting down the liquids in the diet is the first requisit, 
then eat food as outlined in this book. 

To empty the bladder, one should get on-all-fours. 
That relaxes the musls about the bladder and at the same 
time tips the bladder forward so that it wil empty. This 
is entirely fisical, becaus water wil not run up hil, and to 
empty any vessel it has to be tipt so water wil naturally 
run downward. 

Urinating on-all-fours just before going to bed wil 
often keep a person from having to get up in the nite to 
urinate. On-all-fours is the Natural Way. 

The more liquids persons take into their sistems, 
the more the bladder is put into use. Therefore no liquids 
should be taken in the afternoon when one has retention 
of urin, or an inflammatory condition in the bladder. 

Bed-wetting (Enuresis) is almost always found in 
infants and children but often adults ar afflicted with this 

two hundred thirty-five 



weakness about the bladder walls. This condition is 
handld just the same as retention of urin. 

The mental attitude has much to do with this trubl. 
Sleeping on the back is contra-indicated with any trubl 
of the bladder and especially in cases of urin retention, 
or enuresis. 

The diet has a great deal to do with enuresis. Any 
indigestibl food eaten in the afternoon aggravates the 
condition. The bladder should be thoroly emptied by 
getting on-all-fours just before going to bed, and the 
patient should hav a spool or piece of wood fastend to the 
back on a band so they cannot lie on the back (See Fig. 
45.). 

The patient should not eat or drink anything within 
three hours of retiring. If persons, young or old, wake 
up in the nite, instruct them to get up immediately and 
empty the bladder. In a short time they wil get control 
of the bladder musls. 

Weight 

It is alright for a person to weigh themselvs 
occasionally, but to be continually watching the scales 
to see whether a pound is gaind or lost is bad practis. It 
is another of the many causes for neurasthenia. If one 
feels wel and livs correctly, they should not worry about 
the weight. If one is over-fat, they certainly should not 
eat. Overweight is a sign that one is living rongly. 

Sum peopl ar naturally stout and sum ar naturally thin, 
and it seems as tho eating littl or much would hav no effect 
upon them. Others, however, change their weight several 
pounds a week and then worry about it all the time. 
Liv rightly, think rightly and forget about your weight. 
Watching the weight is almost as bad as watching a 
clinical thermometer to see if one has a fever. If yu 
watch long enuf yu ar sure to hav sumthing to watch out 
for.

Whooping Cof (Pertussis) 

There is probably no diseas of childhood that is so 
amenabl to cure by means of diet as whooping cof, yet 
whooping cof is responsibl for more deths among chil- 
dren than anyone realizes. 

Charles E. Page, M. D., of Boston, Mass., very aptly 
says, "There is no diseas in which therapeutic fasting 
acts so promptly and curativly as whooping cof, while 
continued feeding keeps up the inflammation of the 
stomac and causes so much distress and so many deths. 

"Whooping cof is a stomac cof from the start and if 
we giv that organ time for rest and healing, the patients 
having small portions of fresh water occasionally, the 
trubl is soon over. 

"Never in thirty od years of a very busy practis hav I 
had a case in which the cof has kept up longer than from 
three to five days. 

"Feeding a person who has whooping cof operates like 
banging the fist against the strong wall for barking the 
nuckls." 

If any remedy is given for whooping cof, small doses 
of sirup of thyme without dout is the best, altho if one 
wil persist in the therapeutic fasting, or a teaspoonful 
of orange juice mixt with water, if the child appears 
thirsty, it is unnecessary to giv any remedy. 

Powerful radiant light over the stomac region also 
acts wonderfully in relieving the spasm of whooping cof. 

Chiropractic adjustment, rightly aplied, also has markt 
benefit in overcumming the spasms connected with whoop- 
ing cof. 

Worms 

No dout more peopl hav worms than we hav any idea 
of, but they can be redily gotten rid of if one knows they 
hav them. The patient should go on a water fast for 
three days, then eat about a pint of soakt pumpkin seeds 
with the water they ar soakt in. There is not much danger 

two hundred thirty-seven 



of taking too much of these if the seeds ar soakt at least 
twenty-four hours before they ar taken. It is difficult 
to tel just how many pumpkin seeds to use for a pint of 
water becaus they differ so in size and dryness. Sum 
peopl take the skins off before eating them but this is 
not necessary. Sum wil take two pints of the pumpkin 
seeds during a day. Folio within a few hours with three 
or four tablspoonfuls of castor oil. This wil usually take 
out all kinds of worms, including the tape worm, from 
the stomac and intestins. 

Many use santonin and podofyllin but I believ pumpkin 
seeds ar more efficient and certainly ar more safe. 

W onder-Treatment Rolls ar rolls 
12" in diameter and 24" long, made 
of canvas or lether 1 and fild with 
cotton, excelsior, hair or other Figure 112 

material. They ar used to lie on as illustrated in Fig. 
112. The patient can "dip" his abdomen down, or he can 
be "chiropractically adjusted" by another person. 

The Rolls can be used in regular gimnastic exercizes 
daily to remedy bowel or stomac trubls and strengthen 
the hack.

A beautiful bird, while flying one day, 
jg= Espied a yung trout all silver and gray 

In a pool neath the green willows' shade. 

Straitway he wooed her all the day long 

With dippings and curvings and twitter and song 

O'er the pool where the yung trout playd. 

At length they wer marrid, this beautiful pair. 
Both bride and groom lookt happy and fair 
When they promist to love and obey. 

But she couldn't fly; he could not swim. 
The trubl and sorro this coupl wer in 
In starting their yung marrid life! 

He wanted to take her strait to the sky; 
She wanted him to swim and not fly. 
And so there was trubl and strife. 

At length an old Judge happend along. 

He mist the yung trout and the bird's gay song 

And he saw the mistake they had made. 

So he helped them the knot to untie. 

The bird spread his wings and went to the sky 

And the trout to the pool in the shade. 

Now who can condem this kindly old Judge 
For giving to each the freedom they loved, 
And back to the world a sweet song?

VACCINATION 

I believ all my readers kno how deeply I feel regarding 
the superstitious idea of vaccination. To my mind vac- 
cination belongs to the same fanaticism as the burning 
of "witches," and it is with gratification that I see the 
growing sentiment against this horribl practis. 

I believ the time is not far distant when laws wil be 
past that wil make it a crime to put putrid, diseasd 
material into the blood stream of the human being, 
especially if that person be a minor. 

I kno many physicians who, becaus of the way they 
ar taut, hav not lookt into this subject, but hav taken it 
for granted that what they ar taut must be true. There- 
fore I try to hav charity even for murderers. 

The Seventh Edition of my Lecture Course to 
Physicians contains one of the strongest arguments, based 
on actual statistics and indisputabl evidence, that has 
ever been publisht against vaccination. 

Mr. Charles M. Higgins of Brooklyn, N. Y., has 
collected substantial facts and has gotten out a book 
entitld, "The Horrors of Vaccination." If anyone is the 
least inclined to believ in vaccination and is not posted 
regarding the horrors connected with it, as wel as the 
commercial and political status it occupies, they should 
procure and read Mr. Higgins' book. No one is so 
blind as he who wil not see when he has had an 
opportunity to see. 

Mr. Higgins sums up as folios: 

"To sum up briefly, I think it may now be seen that 
several cardinal points against the evils of compulsory 
vaccination hav been proved by impregnabl legal, med- 
ical and historical facts and out of the mouth of hy 
authorities on vaccination. These cardinal points may be 
stated in seven numbers as folios : 

two hundred thirty-nine 



"First: The illegality and unconstitutionality of all 
compulsory vaccination and its gross violation of Medical 
Freedom and Bodily Sanctity, which ar unalienabl 
American rights equal with Religious Freedom. 

"Second: The medical barbarism and malpractis of 
all compulsory diseas as being opposed to all true 
standards of medical ethics and logic. 

"Third: The poor protectiv power of vaccination, 
which givs no immunity from smallpox except for short 
periods of a few months or a year and requires frequent 
repetition, which is obviusly ineffectiv as a protection and 
dangerus as a remedy. 

"Fourth: That sanitation, isolation and hygien hav 
been and ar the chief means of preventing and sup- 
pressing smallpox epidemics independent of vaccination. 

"Fifth : That vaccination is very dangerus to helth 
and life, causes epidemics in animals and mankind, and is 
oftentimes more fatal than smallpox, and now causes 
more deths than smallpox. 

"Sixth: That vaccinating doctors and helth officials 
most shamefully deny and conceal injuries and deths from 
vaccination, and falsify our vital statistics accordingly. 

"Seventh : That the practis of inflicting on the human 
body a compulsory medical diseas, which is dangerus to 
helth and life and causes many deths every year, is 
obviusly illegal and a medical crime on the peopl which 
must be suprest. 

"Conclusion. 

"As soon, therefore, as this crushing fact of the great 
danger of vaccination to human helth and life enters the 
mind and conscience of the mas of the peopl, and is 
fully graspt by the legislativ, the judicial and the executiv 
minds of the cuntry — from whom it has been so long 
conceald by medical falsehood in hy places — this 
enlitenment wil, I firmly believ, result in the permanent 
abolishment of all compulsory vaccination, if not in the 

two hundred forty 



penal prohibition of general vaccination : as being now 
more dangerus than natural smallpox; and to that great 
fact and to this final and profetid thot, I ask your careful 
attention in closing this exposure of vaccination horrors 
and medical mendacities." 

C. Killick Millard, M. D., Medical Offiser of 
Leicester, Eng., says during the last decade the deths 
from vaccinia (cowpox vaccination) hav several times 
outnumberd those from smallpox, while if we hav record 
of the amount of sickness causd by the two diseases, it 
looks as if vaccinia had becum, as far as the community 
is concernd, the more serius diseas of the two. 

The reports of the Registrar General of England sho 
that the deths from vaccination hav outnumberd those 
from smallpox ever since the year 1906. 

We must remember that modern vaccination originated 
in Germany where force and compulsion hav been made 
a fine art. Is it not time that physicians lookt into the 
truth and wer not led around by the nose by fanatical 
"sientists," who thru superstition or commercialism, keep 
the vaccination mith in our scool books? 

I for one want to kno the Truth and am seeking after 
Truth. 

Japan is the most vaccinated cuntry in the world and 
Germany ranks second. The history of smallpox in Japan 
furnishes us proof extraordinary of the worthlessness 
of this murderus sistem. 

Japan, like Germany, rules her peopl with an iron hand 
and they submit even if they die for it. 

The London Lancet of 1916, p. 144, quotes from a 
former Director General of the Medical Department 
of the Japanese Navy as folios: 

"There ar no anti-vaccinationists in Japan. Every 
child is vaccinated before it is six months old, re- 
vaccinated when entering scool at six years, again re- 
vaccinated at fourteen years of age when going to the 

two hundred forty-one 



middl scool, and the men ar re-vaccinated before entering 
the army, while their re-vaccination is enforst if an out- 
break of smallpox occurs. This law was in effect from the 
year 1885, altho compulsory vaccination has been in 
vogue in Japan since 1876." 

John Pitcairn, member of the Pennsylvania Vaccination 
Commission, in his report publisht in "Both Sides of the 
Vaccination Question" says in referring to the Japanese 
Vaccination regulation, "What has been the result? 
Official statistics sho that Japan is the most vaccinated 
cuntry in the world, and if vaccination had any virtue 
in it Japan should be absolutely free from smallpox." 
But here ar extracts from the official statistics suplied by 
the Director of the Sanitary Bureau of the Department of 
Home Affairs as quoted in "Both Sides of the Vaccination 
Question" 

Japan has the hyest mortality in smallpox of any 
so-cald civilized cuntry in the world. For the 20 years 
ending 1908, she had 171,500 cases of smallpox, which 
is an average of over 8,500 cases a year, with 48,000 
deths, which is a 28% mortality record. 

In Great Britain, before the curse of vaccination was 
"discoverd" by Jenner, the deth rate was about 17%. 
Japan with all her "safegards" against smallpox has a 
deth rate 64% higher than the deth rate of Great Britain 
before vaccination was forst upon the peopl. 

It does seem as tho the public would rais up in arms 
and thro into jail every official who tries to demand 
vaccination. 

Another noteworthy fact regarding vaccination is that 
as vaccination increases so do all other diseases increas. 
I can cite Japan again on this score. In 1908 there wer 
in Japan, exclusiv of Formosa, 17,790 cases of diftheria 
with 4,791 deths — the very hy deth rate of 27.9%. 
Scarlet fever shows a markt increas with a very hy 
deth rate. Tuberculosis has greatly increast since 1885 
among all classes of the Japanese population, as quoted 

two hundred forty-two 



from "Is Vaccination a Disastrus Delusion" by Ernest 
McCormick. 

On the other hand there has been a coincident improve- 
ment in the general helth of the town of Leicester, 
England, with the abandonment of vaccination. In 1873 
when vaccination was at its hight (95%) the general 
deth was the highest — 27 per 1,000 or 5 to 1,000 
worse than the average for England and Wales. Since 
that time — when smallpox kild 960 of her vaccinated 
citizens, and with them the local faith in vaccination, — 
the deth rate has been on the decline. In 1889 when 
vaccination had sunk to 5%, the deth rate had fallen 
to 17.5; in 1902-6 it averaged 14.18, and since then has 
fallen to les than 12 to 1,000 — one of the lowest in the 
kingdom in spite of every disadvantage of occupation, 
soil and situation. 

Sum of the hyest authorities who wer not influenst by 
commercialism, and who hav made the subject of vac- 
cination a religious study, held that vaccination insted 
of preventing smallpox is a direct cans of smallpox. 
In these latter days with the virus of confessedly variolus 
origin, it is difficult to see how that conclusion can be 
avoided. Bovinized-smallpox inoculation upon the human 
must stil be smallpox if there is such a thing as specific 
diseas. When but a singl pustule forms, the amount of 
contagion may be slight, but when, as often happens, 
there ar many pustules, perhaps a general eruption, the 
effluvia, germs, or what yu wil, which convey the diseas, 
ar increast in volume. Hence the degree of contagious- 
ness is correspondingly increast. 

Due to this fact, it is doutless true that an unvaccin- 
ated member of a family closely domiciled with one in 
whom vaccin is working, possibly sleeping in the same 
bed with such a one, occasionally contracts the diseas 
from such contact. In cases of this kind the facts ar 
misinterpreted or misrepresented by vaccinationists who 
immediately deride the unvaccinated one for his failure 

two hundred forty-three 



to get "protection." The wwvaccinated one, however, wil 
recover sooner and more completely than his vaccinated 
brother. 

If persons wil submit to vaccination, they should be 
isolated during the period of "taking" the so-cald vaccinia 
as completely as tho they had smallpox contracted in the 
ordinary manner. 

These considerations render plausibl the assertion by 
Prof. Ruata and other keen observers, that smallpox 
cannot disappear so long as it is sistematically propagated 
and spred by vaccination. 

"Compulsory Education is the distribution of the 
national stock of acquired knoledge." 

"Compulsory Vaccination is the distribution of the 
national stock of acquired diseas." 

"Compulsory Vaccination ranks with slavery and 
religious persecution as one of the most mischievus 
outrages ever inflicted on the human race." 

"Consumption and Cancer folio vaccination as effect 
folios caus." 

"The most predisposing condition for cancerus devel- 
opment is infused into the blood by vaccination and 
revaccination." 

"Vaccin pus is a POISON — the purer, the more 
certain and fatal." 

"The experienst physician who says he has never seen 
any il effects from vaccination is iether blind or a liar." 

"What does it profit yu, if by your efforts yu hav 
gaind perfect helth, and your government vaccinates yu, 
and yu ar renderd a cripl." 

Dr. Adolf Vogt says : "After collecting the particulars 
of 400,000 cases of smallpox, I am obliged to confess 
my belief in vaccination is absolutely destroyd." 

Dr. W. Hitchman says : "I kno of hundreds of children 
having been kild by vaccination." 

There ar thousands of physicians who ar honest and 
conscientious enuf to not be coaxt, bribed or frightend 

two hundred forty-four 



into polluting the blood of a child, or anyone else, with 
the filthy, diseas-carrying poison known as cowpox vims 
that is put out by the boards of "helth" for vaccination. 



The folloing is an exact copy of a circular that is 
being sent out by the hundreds of thousands to voters 
thruout the U. S. A. The sooner the peopl ar educated 
to kno their rights the sooner wil political doctors stop 
infringing on the Constitution.

VACCINATION AND THE LAW* 

A ruling has been past by the Supreme Court, North 
Dakota, that children cannot be excluded from scools on 
the ground of not being vaccinated. Justice Robinson 
concurd with the Court and his separate opinion containd 
these words: 

"It (smallpox or vaccination) prevails and becums 
epidemic only in cuntries where the population is dense 
and the sanitary conditions ar bad. It was in such cuntries, 
and in days when sanitation was unknown, that the 
doctrin of vaccination was promulgated and adopted as 
a religious creed. 

"Gradually it spred to other cuntries where conditions 
ar so different that vaccination is justly regarded as a 
menace and a curse. And where, as it appears, the 
primary purpose of vaccination is to giv a living to the 
vaccinators. 

"Hence, wer vaccination to becum general, it would 
be certain to caus the sickness or deth of a thousand 
children where one child now sickens and dies from 
smallpox. 

"Of course, a different story is told by the clas that 
reaps the golden harvest from vaccination and the dis- 
eases causd by it. Yet, becaus of their self-interest, their 
doctrin must be recievd with the greatest care and scru- 
tiny. Every person of common sense and observation 
must kno that it is not the welfare of the children that 
causes the vaccinators to preach their doctrins and to 
incur the expense of lobbying for vaccination statutes. 

"England, with its dense population and insanitary 
conditions, was the first cuntry to adopt compulsory

vaccination, but there it has been denounst and abandond. 
In the City of Leicester vaccination has long since been 
tabood, and there, becaus of special regard for clenliness 
and good sanitation, the peopl fear no smallpox. 

"In the book of Dr. Peebles on vaccination, there ar 
statistics to the effect that 25,000 children ar annually 
slauterd by diseases inoculated into the sistem by compul- 
sory vaccination. 

"It is shown beyond dout that vaccination is often 
the caus not only of deth, but also of sifilis, cancer, con- 
sumption, eczema, leprosy and other diseases. It is shown 
that if vaccination has any tendency to prevent an attack 
of smallpox, the remedy is worse than the diseas. 

"Finally, the proper safegard is by sanitation. The 
chances ar that within a generation vaccination wil cease 
to exist. It wil go the way of inoculation, bleeding, purg- 
ing and salivation. The vaccinators must lern to liv with- 
out sowing the seeds of deth and diseas."

VIVISECTION* 

"Vivisection is only possibl becaus the world — so 
merciful and so careless — cannot endure to lern what 
vivisection means." 

"Vivisection is blood lust screend behind the sacred 
name of sience." 

There is as great an abiss between the true physician 
and the vivisectionist as there is between heven and hel. 

"There wil cum a time when the world wil look back 
to modern vivisection in the name of science, as it now 
does to the burning of witches at the stake in the name of 
religion." 

Nothing of any true merit has ever been gaind from 
vivisection. 



*The Vivisection Investigation League, 105 E. 22d St., New York 
City, has publisht a book of 133 pages entitld, "Vaccines and Serums'' 
from the standpoint of many physicians. Everyone who is interested 
in knoing what the greatest medical journals and most noted investi- 
gators hav to say regarding vaccins and serums, should procure a 
copy of that book. 

The American Medical Liberty League, 59 E. Van Buren St., 
Chicago, 111., has publisht a littl pamflet entitld, "Know the Facts 
About Vaccination." It contains a compilation of official statistics 
and expert testimony for the use of students, debaters, legislators, 
judges and others. The price of that booklet is ten cents.

Vivisection has made perverts of countless numbers of 
those who hav gon into the study of medicin with a 
humane hart. 

To say that vivisection can be carrid on in a humane 
manner is a lie. In the first place those who do it becum 
so callust that they do not kno humane acts from brutal 
ones. 

Vivisection would never exist except for the perverts 
who ar parasites sucking at the purse strings of those 
who wil furnish them mony to gratify their fetish. 

Wer it not for vivisection, we would not hav today 
the outrageus curse of vaccins and serums thrust upon us. 

I hope my readers wil realize that when any university 
or educational institution stands up for the torturing of 
animals, such institutions ar being controld by commer- 
cialism to such an extent that they ar not decent places 
for yung peopl to attend. No person can torture dum 
creatures without losing simpathy for humans — losing 
the best there is in them. 

The fruits of vivisection ar only degradation and 
delusion. 

Sum make the remark that it is better to sacrifice 
the life of a dog than to sacrifice the life of a child. No 
one's life has ever been saved by vivisection, but on the 
contrary vivisection has now been carrid into the hos- 
pitals and other public institutions and the children and 
helpless ones ar its victims. 

No diseases hav declined becaus of the use of material 
gaind by vivisection, but such diseases as croup, measls, 
scarlet fever, diarrea, etc., hav stedily declined. Had 
the perverted animal torturers concocted sum brew as 
an ''antitoxin" for these diseases, no dout they would 
hav been on the increas. 

In my book entitld, "Think," I go into the subject 
of vivisection quite extensivly and giv a long list of 
famus men who hav fought and ar fighting against this 
awful blot on civilization — vivisection.

THE CADUCEUS 

Many do not understand just how this simbol originated. The 
caduceus was the staf of offis of Mercury — giver of life to the ded, 
helth to the sick, strength to the weak. The legend of the herald's 
staf is as folios: 

"Mercury was the messenger of Jove and it was his duty to 
conduct disembodied spirits to the other world and also to resurrect 
the ded. He had invented the lyre, constructing it from a tortoise 
shel. This he exchanged with Apollo for the latter's magic wand, 
which was simply an oliv branch with two fillets of ribbon. 

"When Mercury was traveling in Arcadia, he encounterd two 
serpents engaged in dedly combat. He separated them with his wand, 
and so the oliv branch became the simbol of peace. The two fillets 
wer replaced by the twined serpents, and the wings wer added as the 
signs of Mercury, the messenger of the gods. Thus, the caduceus 
represents peace and immortality."

WHY DOCTORS SHOULD NOT BE HELTH 
OFFISERS* 
BECAUS— 

1. It is obviusly contrary to public policy, since medical 
revenues cum from diseas and not from helth. 

2. Scools of medical practis ar many and varius, and 
it is niether democratic nor fair to permit one scool to 
control the practis of other scools. 

3. The care of the person is purely a private affair and 
does not properly cum within the purview of "the public 
helth." 

4. Therefore the relation between physician and 
patient, being a personal and private one, the individual 
is entitld to his choice of advizer. 

5. The doctor cannot forget that he is a doctor, and 
when he becums helth offiser, he procedes to "doctor" the 
whole community. 

6. The function of helth offiser is strictly a sanitary 
job, having relation to drainage, to sewage and garbage 
disposal, to water suply, to the ventilation and plumming 
of bildings — in a word, to making the environment clean 
and wholesum. But these tasks ar no more akin to the 
practis of medicin and surgery than they ar to chiropody 
or the barber's trade. 

7. The doctor as helth offiser is at best an amateur 
and theoretical sanitarian, his views colord by his medical 
training; and that causes him to neglect genuin sanitation, 
doctoring the polluted water suply with chemicals, and 
then turning to meddl with the persons of private citizens, 
invade homes, control the public scools, interfere between 
private practitioner and patient, and force medical treat- 
ment on sick and wel.

8. The helth offiser keeps the record of deth, and has 
it in his power, if he is a doctor, to protect his medical 
brethren from blame, or any given practis of his sect 
from condemnation. 

9. In this manner, deths from malpractis ar today 
regularly conceald. Deths from surgical operation ar 
put down to appendicitis, or whatever diseas was operated 
for; deths from antitoxin ar put down to diftheria; deths 
from vaccination ar almost invariably conceald under 
the titl tetanus, meningitis, septicemia, or whatever form 
the blood-poisoning takes in given cases. This deception 
keeps the public in the dark, and therefore raises the deth 
rate. 

10. A doctor in the position of helth offiser is a State- 
paid agent and lobbyist for his fraternity, when the State 
has no more right to descriminate between medical sistems 
than it has to sho partiality in religions. 

Postscript by a wel-known M. D. 

Government helth regulations should not cum from 
doctors of any scool, becaus, when doctors make such reg- 
ulations, they interfere both with the individuals free 
choice of physician or sistem and also with the work of 
the practitioner. They render the best medical practis 
impossibl. 

Government medicin (whether of nation, state or city) 
is a harsh, mecanical, laboratory routine, insted of the 
hyly individualized practis of physicians dealing with 
individual patients, each a problem to be studid and solvd 
by itself.

RADIUM— SUM INSIDE FACTS 

It might interest my readers to kno that about two 
years ago (1919) a representativ of one of the largest 
radium producers in this cuntry was in my offis and askt 
me what I thot of radium. Incidentally he told me the 
call for radium was les than the suply, but they wer 
contemplating sum means of stimulating the demand. He 
said that they had in mind getting Madam Currie over 
to America and making a lot of publicity for it. He said 
that would help stimulate the establishment of "radium 
institutions' 1 thruout the cuntry. 

I askt him what the chief use of radium was in these 
institutions. He dodgd that question, but said the most 
popular use was for the sterilization of women. He said 
that if a certain amount of radium wer put into the uterus 
and left there a certain number of hours it would steri- 
lize the woman — would make her unabl to hav offspring. 

Since then I hav inquired of a good many radium 
"experts" and they hav mentiond this fact to me. 

Not many weeks ago a lady was in my offis asking me 
about radiant-light treatments, etc. She said that while 
she was sitting on a bench in a near-by park she herd two 
women discussing the use of radium in a certain institute. 
One of them said she had been sterilized by the use of ra- 
dium and mentiond the price she had paid, and she ad- 
vized the other to go and take the "treatment." 

Now I want to sound a word of warning to all those 
who ar led into such folly. Once radium has begun to 
work on the sistem, there is no stopping it. I hav al- 
redy had sum cases that hav had radium "planted" in 
them for a few hours, and a breaking down of tissue 
started after a few months and it wil continue to break 
down. I profesy that inside of ten years every woman 
who has been sterilized by radium wil hav to hav her 

two hundred fifty-seven 



uterus removed and perhaps a good deal more if she is 
stil alive. 

This outrage is being perpetrated by so-calld ethical 
medical men. If such outrageus business continues, it wil 
look as if anything that is calld "ethical" must be 
outrageous. 

A few years ago I was informd of a certain very welthy 
capitalist having "donated" the mony for a radium in- 
stitution. The papers said that he was doing it for 
charity. I lernd from a very reliabl source that the in- 
stitution paid that capitalist over 100% in the past year. 

In conclusion let me warn my readers to keep away 
from ail radium institutes and from every one who uses 
radium as a specialty. I believ there ar many good men 
who ar using radium becaus they honestly believ that it is 
good, but that does not mitigate their responsibility, or 
atone for their ignorance. 

I remember the time when the x-ray was used promis- 
cuously by doctors becaus they believd in it. Today they 
ar iether ded from the effects of it or hav great ulcers, or 
disfigurd hands, and bodies, as the result of their faith in 
sumthing that they knew nothing about. I believ radium 
wil prove far more disastrus in the long run than the 
x-ray. 

Radium has its place in the arts in the manufacturing 
of luminus paint and for the painting of signals, watch 
dials, speedometers, etc. Like every other "new" min- 
eral, "new" force, or "new" compound, "from abroad" 
it has been siezd upon by organized medicin, becaus they 
ar so unsettld they grab for anything they can get that wil 
fool the peopl. I can say with that great sientist and 
reserch worker, Walter R. Hadwen, M.D., of England, 
that when organized medicin is unanimus in its opinion on 
any subject, they ar unanimusly rong.

RADIUM FAD FADING 

A recent dispatch by the Associated Press from Phila- 
delphia says : 

Radium has fallen far short of proving itself a univer- 
sal cure for cancer. In critical instances it has faild, and 
most miserably, declard the newly installd president of 
the American College of Surgeons, in an address he made 
at the formal opening of the eleventh annual session of 
the college in the Bellevue-Stratford recently. While de- 
claring himself unwilling to express belief that radium as 
a cancer cure is altogether doomd, he said he did not see 
much hope for its future success in combating that diseas. 



Radium "bugs" ar rapidly being cultivated. Radium-"bug" instit- 
utions ar springing up in all larger cities. Radium propaganda is 
rampant — and after all is said and done, radium has never cured 
anything that very simpl and inexpensiv methods could not hav cured 
more permanently. Another "commercialism ladder" for "orthodox" 
doctors to fall from.

COLORD LIGHTS— A MEANS OF DIAGNOSIS 
AND CURE* 

By Edwin F. Bowers, M. D. 

Author of "Side-Stepping Ill-Health," "Alcohol — Its 
Influence on Mind and Body" etc. 

If every fire could be discoverd and properly treated 
just when it was developing the first faint flickerings of 
yung life, nothing except a powder mil or a paint shop 
would ever burn down. And, likewize, if doctors only 
knew what was- the matter before whatever is the matter 
gets too great a start to cure or cut out, few would ever 
die, except from "old age," accident, or from diseases for 
which we hav as yet found no remedy. 

We hav not yet any generally known and reliabl me- 
thod of diagnosing tuberculosis except by finding tubercl 
bacilli in the sputum. And when the diseas has progrest 
thus far, in a tragic number of instances our discovery has 
cum too late. So, the grim fact remains that tuberculosis 
is stil responsibl for the deth of one of every seven "civili- 
zed" human beings, while cancer, that equally implacabl 
foe of mankind, is Minotaur to one of every eight women 
and one of every fifteen men living under conditions of 
"civilization." 

When, therefore, even with the most perfect training 
and the most elaborate equipment, and with the assistance 
of sum of the ablest specialists in laboratory and reserch 
work in America, so eminent a physician as Dr. Richard 
Cabot, of Boston, admits that he is right in his diagnosis 
only fifty per cent, of the time, intimating that patients

reports of more than fifty of Dr. White's physician pupils thruout the

of doctors of lesser ability must be even worse off than 
ar his patients, it is clear to even the most casual that 
any improvement over this hit or miss "we-don't-kno 
yet" method must be welcum. 

If there wer developt a means of diagnosis so definit as 
to be practically infallibl, as accurate as mathematics, as 
uniform as a chemical reaction, and so simpl that any 
doctor of even ordinary good training could aply it, the 
significance of the discovery could hardly be computed in 
terms of lives and mony. 

The long-drawn suffering, the years of dependent inca- 
pacity, the los of bred winners, could be almost wholly 
prevented — if only knoledge wer universalized. The 
conservation of life and helth, the vast increase in happi- 
ness and wel-being would place this discovery on a par 
with the discovery of anesthesia, or of antiseptics, in point 
of importance, and we could practically stamp out tuber- 
culosis and cancen in two generations. 

This has been a medical vizion, a vague Utopian 
dream, ever since medicin divorst Empiricism and mar- 
rid Sience. And now the vizion has^ becum a reality, the 
dream has becum an actuality. For an American sientist, 
George Starr White, M. D., Ph.D., LL.D., etc., of Los 
Angeles, Calif., has discoverd a natural principl so simpl 
as almost to be absurd, and yet so fraut with meaning that 
it spels life itself for millions. 

He merely found out why a sick carrier pigeon could 
not find its way home. Then he aplied the principl there 
discoverd to determin why humans and animals that 
sufferd from diseas could not find their way back to helth. 
The anser was the same in both cases. It was because 
of their inability to respond to the magnetism that flows 
along the erth's magnetic meridians. And this inability 
to respond to the magnetic attraction of the meridians is 
because sum diseas in the sistem prevents the response to 
this magnetic flo. 

two hundred sixty-two 



Let! us now digress for a moment, and bild a platform 
broad enuf to stand on while we look this big fact in the 
eye. 

The greatest living sientists ar now agreed that all 
that differentiates any one thing from any other thing in 
Nature is the difference in its rate and mode of vibration. 
Color, light, sound, radio-activ energy, or electricity ar 
merely expressions of certain rates and modes of motion 
— a certain rate and mode of vibration. Theoretically, 
we could change cheese into chalk and mud into gold and 
diseas into helth if only we could transmute the absolute 
rate and mode of vibration of the other. 

It wil be rememberd that only a few years ago this 
was actually accomplisht in the case of a certain germ — 
the anthrax bacillus. These germs, after exposure for a 
time to ultra-violet rays, wer changed into an entirely 
different species of germ, as was proved by the fact that 
when injected into animals they no longer developt an- 
thrax in that animal. They developt, on the contrary, 
an entirely different diseas. Which proved that their 
caracteristics wer replaced by other caracteristics, equally 
wel defined. 

Another fat plank for our platform revolvs around the 
fact that if we briskly rub a cat's fur, commencing at the 
tail, and proceding expeditiusly toward its ears, we wil, 
under favorabl atmosferic conditions, develop a percept- 
ibl amount of electricity in our feline battery. 

Again if we run into an open door, or into a misplaced 
chair, (and all chairs we run into ar misplaced) instinc- 
tivly we pres and rub the hurt spot with a solicitus palm, 
thereby relieving the acute pain thru the soothing effects 
of animal magnetism. 

Sum fenomenally helthy individuals hav such an amount 
of this magnetism that they make a living selling their 
excess to those who haven't so much. They call them- 
selves "magnetic healers," and they probably do much 

two hundred sixty-three 



more good than harm in the world. And they might do 
even more good if they would confine themselvs only to 
those conditions which cum correctly within the mild pro- 
vince of their curativ powers. 

However, if any one — even the most viril and vigorus 
"magnetizer" — is attacht by a wire, xhain, or other 
"conductor" to sum gas or water pipe — in other words, 
if he is properly "grounded" — we can lead the electricity 
out of his body and remove his "static tension." This is 
plank number three. 

Plank number four brings us in view of the aforemen- 
tiond sick carrier* pigeon that couldn't find her way 
home. 

This faculty which she lost — this power of orienta- 
tion — is a peculiar gift. It enabls migratory birds to 
steer a north or south course almost as tho they had a 
compass in their brains. To a, lesser degree it affords a 
sense of direction to dogs, cats, many wild animals and 
savages, and sum blind peopl. 

How they do this has, for many centuries, been a 
disputed question. But sience is now accepting the ex- 
planation advanst by Dr. White more than thirty-five 
years ago. He insisted that the magnetically charged 
bodies respond, like the needl of a compass, to the in- 
fluence of the magnetic poles of the erth. The flood ol 
magnetism running from south to north, over and thru 
the erth, affects their magnetically charged organisms, 
and tels them the direction as plainly as the current of a 
stream would tel us the direction of the river flo, and 
also our way home, if we knew the river, and the topo- 
grafy of the cuntry. 

So birds migrating, in many instances, thousands of 
miles every spring and fall, find, their way, gided by the 
definit energy of the magnetic meridian streaming thru 
their bodies. They require not even the sense of sight. 

two hundred sixty-four 



Indeed, many species fly exclusivly by nite, resting and 
feeding during the day time. 

This brings us to a "close-up" of the sick pigeon who 
had lost her power of orientation — in other words, that 
had, for sum reason, lost her power to respond to the 
magnetic currents floing from south to north over the 
erth and back thru the erth to the south again. 

The owner willingly gave the sick flyer to the eager 
enthusiast, and within ten minutes Dr. White was ex- 
ploring the body of the littl bird for the mistry lockt in 
its tissues. He found that it was affected with avian 
tuberculosis. 

One swallo never made a summer, nor did one carrier 
pigeon ever make a theory. But during the next twenty 
years Dr. White studied every migratory bird he could 
get his hands on that couldn't find its way home, and, in 
every instance, he found that there was sum pathological 
process sumwhere in that bird's body. 

Restless, and striving ever for increas in knoledge and 
improvement in tecnic, Dr. White next turnd his attention 
to our crude methods of diagnosing. After years of ex- 
periment he developt an extremely delicate and highly 
original method of eliciting and differentiating percussion 
sounds. 

Yu wil remember that the last time the family physi- 
cian examind yu, he "lookt at your lungs" most thoroly. 
He moved his left hand over your chest and tapt smartly 
with his right-hand finger tips on the firmly-prest second 
finger of his left hand. For a diagnosis of the condition 
of the lungs this method — inasmuch as yu wer beauti- 
fully proportiond, and bilt sumwhat on the general lines 
of Andromeda or Theseus — workt admirably. But had 
you been bilt on sumwhat more generus lines — with the 
tissues coverd deep with fat — it would hav been much 
more difficult to state accurately just what and where the 
trubl was. 

two hundred sixty- five 



If it wer a matter of minutely outlining the hart, or 
sum one or more of the abdominal organs, the percussion 
diagnosis would most likely be helpt by a liberal amount 
of geswork. It simply can't be done — that's all. 

And so Dr. White improved on this antique method. 
Insted of vibrating bone over tissue he vibrates a colum of 
air over the surface. Thus : Insted of pressing the se- 
cond finger of the left hand solidly over the region to be 
percust, he tuches gently the widespred first and third 
fingers to the body, raises the second finger free, and taps 
it smartly with the index finger of his right hand, of which 
he has made a little hammer. This hammer is composed 
of a celluloid thimbl into which a mixture of beeswax and 
the finest birdseed shot hav been molded. This thimbl fits 
on the index finger. 

There is no tension — nothing to change the caracter 
of the sound in this "air-colum" method of examination, 
and the variation in the quality of sounds is almost mar- 
velus. To the traind ear of one accustomd to this work, 
abnormal conditions clear in the back part of the body 
can be detected 1 by percussing the front. 

All this led to the crucial discovery — a discovery which 
if made by one of the professors in the European scools 
would hav, by this time, been adopted and taut in every 
medical scool in the world, and one, I venture to say, 
that wil be used by thousands of physicians in every part 
of the world hundreds of years after Dr. White is only a 
memory. 

It is merely that there is a definit variation in tone* in 
the same individual, when percussing him — especially 
over the abdomen — by the air-colum method, when he 
has been facing east or west, and is then turnd to face 
north or south. 

Understand, this change in pitch is not causd by any 
increas in the air space, which would folio moving the 
finger nearer or farther from the body. It is dependent 

two hundred sixty-six 



solely upon the alterd relation of the patient as regards 
the points of the compass, and is due to the fact that the 
magnetic meridian has alterd the tension of the blood 
vessels, and consequently the tension of the entire body, 
especially that notist in the internal organs. 

That this important fact may be better understood, it 
should be rememberd that the functions of the body ar 
controld by the nervus sistem. The simpathetic and 
vagus nervs ar the conductors of the energy that governs 
the internal organs, and when the tension of the blood 
vessels suplying these organs is changed, percussion over 
these organs demonstrates a corresponding change in 
their "vagal tone" — tension. 

In the majority of helthy individuals, there wil also be a 
temporary increas of from four to eight beats a minit 
in the puis rate when the static electricity has been re- 
moved by "grounding," and they ar turnd to the north or 
south after having been faced east or west. 

Physician readers wil better apreciate the sientific ac- 
curacy and "absoluteness" of these changes when it is em- 
fasized that these reflexes can be registerd by the plethys- 
mograf, the cardiokymograf, the psycofanometer, the 
sfygmomanometer, the psycofanograf, the organotono- 
meter, and many other instruments which cannot possibly 
be hipnotized or otherwise persuaded to render a biast 
report. 

However, only helthy individuals hav this clearly de- 
fined change in vagal tone — this "simpathetic-vagal re- 
flex," as Dr. White calls it. But when those suffering 
from diseas, no matter how faintly defined, ar faced to 
the east and then ar turnd to face the north, the tension in 
their blood vessels remains unalterd. Sum toxic process 
within their bodies interferes with or "inhibits" their re- 
sponse to the influence of the magnetic meridian. 

To determin what causes this, Dr. White tried every 
concievabl method of bringing back this reflex — even 

two hundred sixtv-seven 



temporarily. He finally found that if the bared chest 
and abdomen of those who did not sho the normal mag- 
netic reflex — in other words, who wer il - — wer exposed 
for a minute or two to colord lights, the reflex could be 
temporarily restord. 

He first demonstrated that tuberculus patients of iether 
sex, and in all stages of the diseas, if exposed to the "vi- 
bration" of the fotografic "dark-room ruby," would sho 
the same variation in blood-vessel tensions as all helthy 
individuals showd without the ruby light. 

Yet he was puzld when patients who complaind only 
of nervusness, fatigue, or loss of appetite, and who did 
not respond normally, gave the reflex when subject to the 
ruby light. But the problem was solvd when these same 
patients — six months or a year later — showd unmis- 
takabl evidence of tuberculosis. 

After thousands of experiments, Dr. White establisht 
conclusivly that tuberculus patients, even tho they did not 
exhibit the slightest trace of the diseas — so far as could 
be demonstrated by the most skild diagnosis — respond- 
ed, like a needl to the pole, to the stimulus of these little 
ruby lights. 

Scores of patients whom Dr. White pronounst tuber- 
culus ar ded or incurably diseasd, becaus they and their 
family physicians ridiculed the verdict of the ruby light. 

The light never lies. It is never in error. It is as in- 
flexibl as is gravitation. Time and again physicians hav 
brot patients to Dr. White or to sum of his hundreds of 
physician pupils in varius parts of the cuntry. These 
patients wer hevily veild — or even maskt — and without 
a stethoscope, without a question concerning symptoms, 
or without ever hearing even the sound of the patient's 
voice, the little lamp and the teltale change of tension hav 
unmistakably indicated the diagnosis. 

There is only one other diseas that responds to this 
ruby light, and that is cancer. Yet cancer also responds 

two hundred sixty-eight 



to a "burnt orange" or "amber" light, to which tubercu- 
losis givs no reflex. No matter in what stage the diseas 
may be, or how obscure or deep seated, cancer givs this re- 
sponse to "amber" light — the speed velocity of which is 
about 175,000 miles a second, as against the 180,000 of 
the dark-room ruby. 

Thus began the marvelus sistem of diagnosis to which 
the soft little body of the carrier pigeon pointed the path 
thirty-five years ago. 

Continuing his work with radiant colors, Dr. White 
found that patients suffering from constitutional blood 
diseas — no matter how mildly tainted, or of how long 
duration the condition and irrespectiv of the Wasser- 
mann findings (which ar almost as frequently rong as 
right) — gave the reflex when exposed to the blue light 
— the speed of which is aproximately 160,000 miles a 
second — and to no other color. 

There is no chance for error. Geswork is entirely eli- 
minated. If they hav sifilis they giv this reflex to the blue 
light. If they do not respond — no matter how many 
eminent specialists may say they ar affected — they ar 
free from this particular diseas. 

The same is true of specific urethritis, the so-cald 
"black plague." If a patient givs a reaction to the rays of 
the purpl lamp, he is gonorreic — even tho it may hav 
been forty-two years since he was infected (as was the 
case with a Chicago physician in one of Dr. White's 
classes). 

With similar exactness malaria discloses itself to a cer- 
tain combination of blue-green light, influenza or "the 
grip" to a red-green combination, kidny intoxications to 
a certain violet, liver diseas and jaundis to pure green, 
tyfoid to blue-green and amber, and alcoholic conditions 
to deep prune. And gradually more and more of the 
toxemias ar cumming into exact classification as regards 
their response to vari-colord lights. It is merely a prob- 

two hundred sixty-nine 



lem in vibration — each diseas apparently producing 
a definit molecular rapport with rays of light traveling at 
a certain speed. And it would seem that every condition 
that so modifies the emanations from the body as to nul- 
lify the effect of the energy of the magnetic meridian upon 
it has a definit color vibration for diagnosing it. 

The colors must be absolutely "on the pitch" however 
— they must be accurately tuned to a certain vibration, 
else they wil fail to elicit the reflex, particularly in in- 
cipient conditions or in diseases which ar not clearly de- 
fined. But Dr. White's methods of insuring this accuracy 
ar too technical for our present consideration. 

This "absoluteness" of vibration, however, explains 
why Dr. White and his pupils must work in subdued light, 
and also why spectators ar obliged to stand back four or 
five feet from the subject. Energy is energy; whether it 
be strong sunlight, moonlight, electric light, or the psyco- 
magnetic radiations from the human body. And inas- 
much as the energy from the magnetic meridian is being 
used for the diagnosis, any other energy would hav an 
effect upon the results secured. 

In order better to comprehend the value of "Bio-Dyna- 
mo-Chromatic Diagnosis," as Dr. White has cristend his 
brain pet (from bios, life; dynamis, force; and chroma, 
color) ; and the better to understand what it means to a 
patient to kno whether or not she has a condition re- 
quiring a surgical operation, a recently reported experi- 
ence is rather illuminating. 

Three women, all of whom had brest conditions which 
had been pronounst cancerous wer brot to Dr. White for 
diagnosis. They had been informd that immediate re- 
moval of the brests and of the glands as far as the armpit 
was the only measure that would keep them alive for 
more than two or three years. 

When they wer placed on the turn-tabl and turnd north 
after first having been tested facing the east, two of them 

two hundred seventy 



gave an absolutely normal reflex. They showd the nor- 
mal change in the tension of their blood vessels and in- 
ternal organs, which, if cancer wer even beginning to de- 
velop, they would not giv. Wer they cancerus it would 
hav been necessary to expose their bared chests and ab- 
domens to the burnt orange or amber light before the 
reflex could be elicited. 

On the strength of this normal response Dr. White 
pronounst these ladies free from cancer, claiming that 
the lumps in their brests wer merely enlarged glands, or 
else wer due to muscular contractions. These patients ar 
today, after a lapse of many years, two absolutely helthy 
and satisfactorily unmutilated ladies. 

The third patient had no change in blood-vessel tension 
when she was faced north, after having been tested facing 
east. But when the amber light was focust on her for a 
minute or more the reflex came back with a rush; proving 
indubitably that she was cancerus. 

She was completely cured, however, after several 
months' treatment, by a unique and most effectiv method, 
which wil be described presently. 

The importance of this work cannot be overestimated. 
It absolutely eliminates "snap diagnosis." It does away 
with the necessity for an "exploratory operation" (for 
cancer, tuberculosis, syfilis and other toxemias, at any 
rate) and it establishes, by a method that, when correctly 
employd, is infallibl, whether one has or has not any of 
these disorders, and if so, which one, and also how badly 
he has it. It can redily be understood how vital and life- 
saving this beautifully accurate means, of diagnosing such 
an obscure condition, for instance, as cancer of the stomac, 
or sum other internal organ, wil becum — when Bio- 
Dynamo-Chromatic Diagnosis is generally known and 
practist. 

This brings us to the most interesting part of our story. 
For the colord light that restores the abnormal reflex does

much more than merely to point the caracter of the trubl. 
The same light that tels us the cause of the patient's sick- 
ness, if used intermittently for twenty minutes or more 
daily, in conjunction, of course, with hygienic and other 
indicated measures, wil, if the diseas is not too far ad- 
vanst, almost invariably effect a cure. 

Hundreds of cases of tuberculosis, pronounst incurabl 
by any other means, hav been arrested and brot safely 
back to the broad hyway of helth by these means. Such a 
cure was effected in one who might almost be cald a mem- 
ber of my own family. 

A little girl, now nineteen, who came to us as a baby 
with her mother, and made our home her home for more 
than twelv years, moved West a few years ago, and there 
developt pulmonary trubl. The diseas made rapid in- 
roads, in spite of the best availabl medical care. But, 
fortunately for her, I met Dr. White three years ago this 
spring, and immediately upon his return to Los Angeles, 
put little Jean under his care. 

Within two months she had gaind thirty pounds and 
had increast almost forty per cent, in red blood eels. The 
sputum cleard up, as did also the cof. To-day she is 
absolutely wel and helthy. She owes her recovery to in- 
termittent ruby light, oxygen vapor, and powerful light.* 

While it is easy to diagnose incipient tuberculosis, it is 
equally easy to say that cases which hav all the earmarks 
of tuberculosis ar in realty sumthing else. 

Recently there was brot to Dr. White a boy who was 
"face-markt" by T. B. He had been pronounst tubercu- 
lus by sum of the most eminent medical men in the West. 
The little chap was so anemic and so weak that almost 
any physician would hav been justified in pronouncing him 
a consumptiv. His condition had cum on suddenly fol-

baby boy.

loing an acute attack of grip. He was trubld with an ag- 
gravating cof , shortness of breth and lack of appetite. 

But he gave a "grip"-sympethetic-vagal reflex. And 
within two months, under u big light," intermittent "grip" 
colord light and oxygen-vapor inhalations ("condenst out- 
of-doors treatment"), he was absolutely wel. Had he 
been treated "expectantly" he might not hav recoverd, as 
these ar the cases which so often becum tuberculus. 

For remember that the light that elicits the reflex — 
that tels what the diseas is — if used faithfully and cor- 
rectly for a period of time, tends to cure the disorder that 
causd the abnormal condition. This is the hope held out 
to those suffering from tuberculosis, cancer, or the cronic 
toxemias, which, under our present methods, ar most 
generally incurabl. 

There is nothing transcendental or metafisical about 
Dr. White's work. It requires no long esoteric novitiate. 
Any intelligent, wel-traind physician, after a little experi- 
ence and practis, can get identically the same results that 
Dr. White secures. This has been repeatedly demon- 
strated. For, time and again, his pupils, securing certain 
reflexes, and desirus of "checking up" their tecnic, would 
refer the patients to Dr. White — saying nothing con- 
cerning their diagnosis. Yet invariably the findings would 
coincide. 

Dr. White has diagnosed thousands of the most ob- 
scure cases the doctors of America could "dig up" for him, 
and has never made a mistake in an uncomplicated con- 
dition. And what Dr. White can do any physician who 
wil study and practis the method, can do equally wel. 

That no other sientist has ever discoverd the effect of 
the magnetic meridian on the animal body is probably 
explaind by the fact that, until Dr. White told us, no one 
knew that daylight, bright light, or other forms of energy, 
maskt the effects of this M.M. energy. But now this par- 
ticular eg has been stood on end. And becaus of this I 

tzvo hundred seventy-three 



believ that the adoption and general use of this method of 
diagnosis and treatment wil save in twenty years more 
lives than the World War is now destroying. I also believ 
that, after the war, we shal hav the doctors and the 
"docents" and the "hoch professors" of Europe cumming 
to America to lern how to diagnose and treat diseas. The 
seemingly absurd and prepostrus colord lights wil be the 
"big medicin" that wil work these epoc-making wonders.

A FOREWORD — MOSTLY ABOUT iMARTYRS 

By Edwin F. Bowers, M. D. * 

Negating the fine and splendid traits that hav made 
humanity gods (tho in the germ) ar others not so com- 
mendabl — traits that ar tipical, caracteristic, and dis- 
gustingly universal. 

One of these is cowardis; another is reactionism. These 
two attributes, I am convinst, hav retarded the progress 
of the world more decidedly and more effectivly than 
all other agencies combined. 

For they ar the mental monsters that hav blockt the 
pathway of every innovation. They represent the psy- 
cological attitude back of the faggot and the rack, the 
persecution and the banishment. Ostracism and repudi- 
ation ar of their sinister family. 

They ar the blinders on the brain, the hampering clog 
on the Wheel of Progress. Aristides markt one of them 
with his stylus on the oyster shel. Galileo murmurd ano- 
ther on his recanting nees. Copernicus, Kepler, Darwin, 
Tyndall, Huxley, Pasteur, Semmelweiss, Simpson — 
most of the pioneers in sience, in medicin, in art, in 
music, in filosofy — in everything that spels advance — 
hav drunk to the dregs the bitterness of its draft. 

Where the action has slightly evoluted from persecu- 
tion, it takes the form of what we ar pleasd to term, "con- 
servatism," which means that the thing leans so far back 
in the direction of medievalism that it makes the Leaning 
Tower of Pisa look like an obelisk in comparison. 

Men gro "mutton-chop whiskers" and preternaturally 
solem countenances extolling the virtues of this same con- 

* As Dr. Bowers is such a wel-known riter and medical critic, and 
becaus he has seen Dr. White diagnose so many cases and has com- 
municated with so many of his pupils, Dr. White askt him if he would

Physicians. This is his contribution.

servatism — blindly oblivius to the fact that they, and the 
intellectual half-wits who share, with them their opinions, 
ar merely barnacls on the keel of a great Moving Force, 
a force whose impulse is as irresistibl as is the flo of a 
glacier. 

All of which is suggested by many things and divers ex- 
periences, but chiefly by the recalcitrancy of the "medical 
profession," and by its hesitancy to enthusiastically en- 
dorse and universally practis the marvelus discovery of my 
frend, George Starr White, M.D., Ph.D., LL.D., etc., of 
Los Angeles, California. 

This is more reprehensible to my mind, in that the 
failure to adopt Dr. White's methods exacts an annual 
toll of thousands — if not scores of thousands — of 
precious human lives. I am glad to lern, however, that 
many progressiv physicians hav adopted these methods 
and that the numbers ar continually increasing. 

I know absolutely what Bio-Dynamo-Chromatic Diag-, 
nosis does. I personally hav had indubitabl evidence of 
the accuracy of the method — evidence which, to the 
"every day senses" seemd almost unbelievabl. 

I hav seen again and again the most obscure cases of 
tuberculosis, cancer, sifilis, gonorrea, and varius other 
toxemias, diagnosed as redily as, a skild percussor would 
outline a consolidated lung area. 

I hav seen patients brot to Dr. White completely 
coverd except for the bared abdomen. I hav watcht the 
masterful way in which Dr. White would determin the 
nature of their ailment. 

In the silences of that darkend offis I hav witnest 
miracls — all the more miraculus in that I, or any medical 
man with average intelligence and a pitch-true ear, could 
with a little practis perform the same miracls. 

'Tis simpl, as ar all the wonderful things of Nature 
when ritely understood — merely the patient's response 
in blood tension to the current of magnetism running over 

two hundred seventy-six 



the meridians of the erth; and to his changed sympathetic- 
vagal reflex resulting from this; and from the true-vibra- 
tion of various radiant colors which temporarily restore 
to normal a tension made abnormal by some diseasd pro- 
cess. 

The method is beautiful, clear, and as accurate as gravi- 
tation, cohesion, chemical affinity, or any of the other 
fenomena that ar accepted — mainly becaus those who 
first advocated them ar ded. 

Suggestion and telepathy, as explanations, ar entirely 
eliminated from Dr. White's method. First, becaus a 
suggestion, in order to be effectiv, must be communicated 
to the recipient — in this case, the patient. Otherwize 
he could not act upon it. But neither Dr. White, nor any 
of the medical men present knew in advance what was the 
matter with the patients. So the patients could not get 
the suggestion from us. (Most of the cases wer con- 
sidered suffering from sum ailment other than Dr. White 
proved it to be.) The patients themselves certainly did 
did not kno. Otherwize they would not hav cum to Dr. 
White and paid him for finding out what they alredy 
knew. 

And if they did know, they couldn't change the tension 
of their vagus and make it respond only to the particular 
radiant color that normalized their abnormal rate and 
mode of vibration, and correctly attune it to its psyco- 
fysiological norm. 

Also, hundreds of Dr. White's physician pupils elicit 
these same differential reflexes, in all parts of the cuntry 
and on all classes of patients. I kno this, for I hav red 
their letters and hav had personal reports from them. 

Which brings me to say again that "medical men" 
lack courage and moral stamina. Otherwize they would 
proclaim these truths broadcast. They would lend the 
weight of their names and their influence to the general 

two hundred seventy-seven 



acceptance of a method that discloses toxic processes dis- 
coverabl in no other way, and at their very inception. 

But sumtime, after Dr. White has been thoroly and 
completely ded for about fifty years, the methods for 
which he has f aut so hard to obtain recognition wil be part 
of the equipment of every successful physician. In the 
meantime I'm for him and his B-D-C methods — "tooth, 
hair, and toenails."

AGAINST STERILIZED MILK 

Becaus of the names appearing in the folloing articl 
taken from a recent number of Health Culture, I am re- 
producing the articl here. 

The assertions ar no more than I hav made for years 
and they ar containd in many paragrafs of this book, but 
becaus of the hy-sounding names, it may be of interest 
to sientists as wel as laymen. 

"Word cums from London, that wide-spred interest 
is arousd by the declaration of Robert Mond, the sien- 
tific chemist, that sterilized milk is dangerus food for chil- 
dren. Sir Almroth Wright appears disposed generally 
to support Mond's conclusions, suggesting the adviza- 
bility of making the whole question the subject of further 
reserch under the direction of the government. 

Mond's experiments for many years in the experimental 
dairy and in an infant's hospital tend to confirm Dr. 
Koch's assertion that tubercular infection is not conveyabl 
in milk from cattl to human beings — an opinion which is 
opposed to the general medical belief. 

Even more startling is his conclusion that sterilized 
condenst milk is dangerus to children becaus sterilization, 
by destroying the natural nutritiv properties of the fluid, 
weakens insted of nourishing the child, thus directly pre- 
disposing to tubercular diseas. 

One experiment consisted in feeding kittens on steril- 
ized milk. All died of starvation in a fortnite. Similarly, 
a large number of infants fed exclusively on the same diet, 
sterilized milk, developt tuberculosis of the bovine type, 
whereas natural milk from tuberculus cows did not pro- 
duce any simptoms of diseas. 

Sir Almroth Wright's conclusion is that the importance 
of excluding infection generally, is exaggerated. He 
thinks wel-nourisht children ar best abl to resist diseas, 
and considers the nutritiv value of milk undeniably and 
detrimentally affected by sterilization. Dr. Ralph Vin- 

two hundred eighty 



cent in a book entitld, ''Nutrition for the Infant," asserts 
that the use of sterilized milk and patent foods induces 
rickets, infantile scurvy, and varius intestinal disorders. 

It is safe to profesy that these opinions wil lead to 
a battl royal of physicians. Meanwhile millions of anx- 
ious mothers the world over, for years advized by doctors 
to avoid wwboild milk, now find themselvs warnd by 
chemic experts against folloing this advice. 

The immediate result of the controversy wil be to 
create douts as to the value not only of boild milk but of 
medical specialists' opinions, at the same time relieving 
the cow of much undeservd reproach.

MORE ABOUT YEAST* 

******* 

The yeast-cure advertizements encourage the public to 
regard yeast as a natural food and that it contains a 
superabundance of "vitamins" which ar lacking in ordi- 
nary eating and without these vitamins the body wil 
bccum weak and sickly and that nothing can restore it so 
wel as vitamins from yeast. 

Yeast is an artificial product that is manufactured in 
part by milling, malting, boiling, souring, fermenting, 
filtering, and pressing, and all these processes depend for 
the success of the product on the fermentation of decom* 
position, and who wil maintain that anything derived by 
a chemical process is a natural food for the body? 

Procest foods ar unnatural and harmful to the body 
and whoever has diseas, however mild, gets his diseas 
from his artificial feeding along with his mistakes in 
hygien, and when those mistakes ar corrected the sickness 
or diseas of the body wil disappear in due time naturally, 
and without a resort to drugs or other foren matter. 

The public is slo in comprehending that its diseases ar 
the result of its own mistakes in eating and to its own mis- 
takes in hygien and that these mistakes produce a series 
of effects in the body that weaken it and make it sickly. 

The public is slo to realize likewize that the safe way 
to prevent diseas as wel as the quick way to cure diseas 
is to quit making mistakes that ar harmful to the body 
and to feed the body naturally. 

Natural food is the original source of vitamins and it 
contains all the vitamins there ar, and all that ar needed, 
without ever so much as a singl thot for vitamins chemi-

cally and artificially produced, for the laboratory of 
Nature is all efficient and all sufficient and all saving, nor 
does it need any suplementary help from any human lab- 
oratory or factory. 

Vitamins ar in abundance in all natural foods and nat- 
ural foods ar foods from the plant world that hav not 
been boild or sourd or fermented or sterilized, and 
these natural foods ar as Nature produces them from 
trees, fields, and gardens, and such foods ar favorabl and 
protectiv to the wel-being of the body. 

The original source of vitamins is from the plant life, 
and all yu hav to do to be wel is to feed naturally, and so 
far as food is needed, the plant-food world suplies all the 
vitamins, and salts, and fats, and acids, and alkalis, and 
whatever else the body needs for its life and helth. 

The advertizing of the yeast companies misleads the 
public in that it lures the public to buy and to eat yeast 
cakes, whereas, the actual need of the public is to hav nat- 
ural food and more of it and les and les artificial or fac- 
tory foods on their tabls.

CALIFORNIA'S VACCINATION RULING 

A dispatch from Sacramento printed recently in the Los 
Angeles Times, says: 

"No child may hereafter be excluded from the public 
scools of California by the authorities becaus of failure to 
sho a certificate of successful vaccination, according to a 
ruling made today by Superintendent of Public Instruc- 
tion, Wood, on legislation past in the last session of the 
Legislature repealing the vaccination law of 1911. 
Wood's ruling was made in reply to inquiries made by 
members of the San Francisco City Board of Education 
and others concerning the present status of vaccination in 
the public scools. 

"In the ruling Wood cites that under the new law, the 
control of smallpox in any locality is left under the super- 
vision of the State Board of Health. It is therefore no 
longer possibl for local authorities to adopt any regula- 
tion of the diseas, he said, and any Board of Education 
excluding a child on grounds of non-vaccination wil sub- 
ject itself to legal action by the parents of such child."

DIFTHERIA AND ANTITOXIN 

Many "boards of helth," and nearly all political doc- 
tors, hav shown their disregard for the helth and life of 
the public in their organized campain to deciev the public 
regarding diftheria. Diftheria cums next to smallpox as 
a club to compel the public to folio one sistem of treat- 
ment from the hands of political, medical ghouls. 

All the serums, antitoxins, toxin-antitoxins and "tests," 
developt to use in connection with diftheria, hav proved 
worse than useless. Commercialism and the desire for 
more power on the part of political doctors ar back of all 
this diabolical propaganda. 

Decreas in Deth Rate Independent of Antitoxin 

Becaus of the fact that political doctors, thru the chan- 
nels of organized medicin, ar trying to hav state laws 
past compelling the use of antitoxin, I am giving here sum 
extracts from Bulletin No. 52 of The Citizens' Medical 
Reference Bureau* 

In this Bulletin attention is calld to the fallacy so fre- 
quently advanst that antitoxin is responsibl for the de- 
creas in the deth rate from diftheria. 

This Bulletin, reproducing the charts from the Chicago 
Department of Health, 1907-1910, shows a reduction in 
Chicago in the deth rate from scarlet fever, measls, and 
whooping cof similar to that from diftheria and croup. 
As no special remedy or preventiv is given the credit for 
the reduction in scarlet fever, measls, etc., the reduction 
in diftheria, as wel as in other diseases, is probably due to 
sanitation and improved living conditions.

toxin: How It Kills and Cripples Children." Publisht by American 
Medical Liberty League, 59 East Van Buren St., Chicago, 111.

Reduction Greatest Before Use of Antitoxin 

The chart showing the deth rate in Chicago from dif- 
theria and croup further shows that in 1874, before there 
was any antitoxin, the deth rate from diftheria and croup 
was almost as lo as it was in 1910. 

It also shows that there had been a reduction from 
about 29 per 10,000 in 1880 to about 11 per 10,000 in 
1894. As a matter of fact antitoxin did not cum into 
general use until sum time later, so that practically all 
reduction in the deth rate from diftheria was prior to 
the general use of antitoxin. 

The chart reproduced from a publication issued by the 
New York City Department of Health shows a very sub- 
stantial decreas in the case fatality of diftheria prior to 
the introduction of antitoxin. It also shows that the deth 
rate from diftheria had begun to decline. If we allow 
for the fact that it was not until long after 1895 that the 
use of antitoxin became more general, it wil be seen that 
practically all the reduction, both in deth rate and case 
fatality from diftheria, was prior to the general use of 
antitoxin. 

The tabl compiled from the Massachusetts Reports 
likewize shows a reduction prior to the use of antitoxin 
15.8 in 1876-80 to 4.7 in 1896-1900 and only a small 
reduction since then. 



In this connection, while discussing antitoxin and its 
awful deth-toll, it is apropos to quote from a recent issue 
of The Abolitionist of London, England, an abl articl 
from the pen of that great authority on medical subjects 
—Walter R. Hadwen, M.D., J.P., etc. : 

"It is now twenty-six years since diftheria antitoxin was 
proclaimd from the sientific housetops as a positiv and 
unfailing remedy for diftheria. Numbers of children — 
it is impossibl to say how many, for deth certificates do 
not tel us everything we would like to kno — hav died as 

two hundred eighty-six 



the direct result of the 'remedy' during that period; and, 
in spite of its universal use, a yearly average of between 
5,000 and 6,000 diftheria deths has been recorded in 
England and Wales alone. 

"Thruout all those twenty-six years, antitoxin has been 
pusht with the utmost assiduity. Scarcely a child escapes 
its administration, whether it is suffering from diftheria 
or is only suspected of having it. A medical offiser of 
helth, in control of an isolation hospital, is held to be 
failing in his duty unless he injects this dedly poison 
beneath the skin of every littl hapless patient that cums 
under his care, and yet diftheria has steadily pursued its 
course in spite of medical boasts of its conquest. 

"The Chief Medical Officer of the Ministry of Health 
has just issued his annual report for the year 1920, and 
on page 55 he has to admit frankly that — 

" 'This diseas was more prevalent than for sum years 
(69,481 notifications and 5,461 deths). In all areas the 
notification rate of 1920 excedes that of 1919.' 

"Diftheria-antitoxin has been the vivisector's sheet 
anchor for the last quarter of a century. When he has 
been driven into a corner and faced with the failure of 
one vivisection remedy after another of which he boasts 
as preventing or curing diseas, he has always fallen back 
upon the diftheria case-mortality statistics of the hospi- 
tals, boldly challenging contradiction of them. 

"We hav often pointed out that these statistics ar bogus 
statistics, inasmuch as the cases themselvs wer not all gen- 
uin diftheria. We hav shown that simultaneusly with the 
introduction of antitoxin a new method of diagnosis was 
establisht: wel-authenticated signs of diftheria wer no 
longer the only ones taken into account, but if a so-calld 
diftheria germ (which exists normally in practically every- 
body's throat) was found in the mouth of a person suf- 
fering from an ordinary sore throat, that person was 
declared to be suffering from diftheria, altho there might 
not be a solitary sign of diftheria present. 

two hundred eighty-seven 



"Thus by adding to the diftheria cases an immense 
number of common sore throats, which would hav gotten 
wel under any circumstances, a great reduction in the deth 
rate of 'diftheria' was obtaind, and this apparently 
favorabl result was attributed to the use of antitoxin 
insted of to a process of bacteriological and statistical 
jugglry. 

"This trick has been so successful during the past year 
that altho the deth rate to the living population for 1920 
is considerably hyer than it has been for the past four 
years, the statistical conjurors hav actually contrived to 
make it appear lower! 

"We ar glad to see that the Chief Medical Officer, Sir 
George Newman, has at last put his finger on the fallacy. 
It is the first time that we hav ever had an official admis- 
sion of this jerrymandering process, tho we hav been 
exposing the 'scientific lie' for a quarter of a century. The 
whole position lies in the increase of cases, and this is Sir 
George Newman's confession — cautious, but, neverthe- 
less, dedly: 

" 'It seems likely that part, at any rate, of the increas 
has been attributabl to the notification as diftheria of 
cases of mild ilness, occurring among "contacts" in insti- 
tutions or at home, which hav seldom presented any 
definit clinical evidence of diftheria and would not hav 
been regarded as cases of that diseas apart from the fact 
of contact, or the reciet of a positiv report on the exam- 
ination of throat swabs. Notified cases, in addition, hav 
sumtimes included persons not suffering from ilness at all, 
but, who, on the strength of the swab, hav been diagnosed 
as diftheria carriers.' 

"This is not only a complete anser to the medical enthu- 
siasts and interested antitoxin manufacturers, who hav 
been iether ignorantly or designedly flurishing these 
bogus hospital statistics in the facts of the deluded and 
bewilderd public for the past twenty-five years, but it is 
a backhanded bio at the bacteriologists, who profess to 

two hundred eighty-eight 



diagnose a discas by a fictitious germ instead of by genuin 
clinical signs. 

"Diphtheria antitoxin is a serum, that is, it is the blood 
of a horse which has been sloly poisond by an emulsion 
of so-calld diftheria germs grown artificially in sum pro- 
teid material. Sir Almroth Wright, anxious to push his 
own rubbishy vaccins, denounced serums becaus, he said, 
they containd 'unadulterated toxins,' that is — poisons, 
pure and simpl. But he illogically made an exception of 
diftheria antitoxin, owing to his being foold like other 
peopl by the hospital statistics of case-mortality; he was 
apparently incapabl of seeing or unwilling to see how the 
trick of deception had been workt. For there has been an 
immense amount of similar hocus pocus about his own 
vaccin statistics, which wil not stand ten minits' examina- 
tion. 

"Twenty-five years before antitoxin was introduced, the 
average annual deth rate from diftheria (1871-5) was 
only 120 per million of the living population. Twenty- 
five years after antitoxin has been introduced — in spite 
of a quarter of a century's increasing and rigorus use of 
this quack remedy — the average annual deth rate (1916- 
20) stands at 134 per million. 

"This, as we hav said, has been the vivisector's sheet 
anchor; it is the best he can sho for all the vile work of 
torture that has taken place in his laboratory year in and 
year out for centuries, and that 'best,' in the fierce light 
of statistics to which he himself has appeald for justifi- 
cation of his methods, is shown to be a delusion and a 
fraud." 



"He is blind enuf who 
sees not thru a sieve. ' '

WHERE EVERYBODY'S HAPPY 

There's a town calld Don't- Yu-Worry, 

On the banks of the River Smile, 
Where the Cheer-Up and Be-Happy 

Blossoms sweetly all the while; 
Where the Never-Grumbl flower 

Blooms beside the fragrant Try, 
And the Ne'er-Giv-Up and Patience 

Point their faces to the sky. 

In the valley of Contentment, 

In the province of I-Wil, 
Yu wil find this lovely city 

At the foot of No-Fret hil ; 
There ar thorofares deliteful 

In this very charming town, 
And on every hand ar shade trees 

Named the Very-Seldom Frown. 

Rustic benches, quite enticing, 

Yu'l find scatterd here and there; 
And to each a vine is clinging 

Cald the Frequent-Ernest-Prayer; 
Everybody there is happy 

And is singing all the while, 
In the town of Don't- Yu-Worry, 

On the banks of the River Smile.

BRIEFS— MEDICAL AND OTHERS 

Asthma is often greatly relievd by sleeping on a pillo 
stuft with dry hops. 

Nipls, if sore, can be quickly relievd by annointing with 
lanolin (sheeps' wool fat). If nipls ar crackt, wash 
carefully with tincture of benzoin. 

Pain is a simptom of sumthing going rong. Don't try 
to reliev the pain and neglect the caus. Taking down a 
red flag of danger does not make the road safe. 

Pois on-conta'mmg bottls should hav one or two pins 
stuck thru their corks. Pins so placed gard the bottl in 
the dark as wel as in the light. 

Shingls — Herpes Zoster — can be quickly cured by fast- 
ing and aplying powerful radiant light to the spine. Keep 
the sore area annointed with vaselin. 

Splanchnic Neuresthenia is a nervus condition causd by 
relaxation of the abdominal organs and vessels. It often 
leads to serius trubl. Diet and exercizes ar of paramount 
importance. 

As an aid to bolster the abdo- ^J/C--^^^ 
men up til it is strong enuf to fjjr^ HfjHB ^ 
support itself, an abdominal sup- It JBpilllH|L 

port is required. I used to make f[N|E^ ! J||||^PKH 
such belts or supports, but do not f^^T/fapm^tiffi(\/ 
any more. I hav found the one |k ^M WjT 

illustrated herewith, known as the ^JJ^^J 
"EL-AR" Abdominal Supporter, ^B^ 

to be the best for supporting the abdomen and sacro-iliac 
joint, as wel as the back. It is manufactured by the 
Battle Creek Deformity Appliance Co., Battle Creek, 
Mich. 

Tooth-ake can often be relievd in a few minits by biting 
hard on a cork. Putting a drop or two of oil of cloves 
on the cork often enhances the good effects. 

Tonsilitis, enlarged tonsils and adenoids ar often causd 
by eating sugar as wel as condenst milk. Condenst milk 

two hundred ninety-one 



docs more harm to the yung than anyone can realize. 
It is condenst destruction for infants. 

Vaginal Siringes with a long hard-rubber nozzel ar 
dangerus for any woman to use. The hard material 
hitting the mouth of the uterus often causes erosions and 
ulceration. 

Varicose Veins ar best treated by restricting the liquids 
in the diet and by elevating the part, so gravitation wil 




help reliev the pressure. Powerful radiant light is the 
best auxiliary treatment. 

Dry Milk is not what the manufacturers say it is for 
food. The more milk is fixt up to keep or sel, the les is 
its food value. 

Rest Cure; Work Cure; Milk Cure; Golf Cure, etc., 
ar unnatural and consequently ar to be condemnd. To 
lie in bed and drink milk — a solid food — is too unnatural 
to even mention, but sum faddists ar pushing it for the 
mony there is in it. I hav seen several persons made 
insane by the milk-and-rest "cure," and am treating vic- 
tims of such sanitoriums every week. Such unnatural 
"cures" ar curses and caus many changes for the worse in 
those who take them. 



two hundred ninety-two 



If one rests he should eat littl or nothing. If one 
works he should eat what the body requires — that much 
and no more. 

"Lost Manhood" is a fiendish term used by doctors, 
who would disgrace any reptile family, to frighten men 
who may be sexually weak. It would be wel for human- 
ity if all weak-minded men wer sexually weak. 

Near-Nude pictures on the covers of sum so-calld helth 
magazines ar very f ar-fetcht as portraying helth. Hygeia 
would blush for them. Commercialism wil stop at noth- 
ing.

SIMPLIFIED SPELLING MEANS PROGRESS 

Think — by using Simplified, Reformd Spelling in this book, 32 pages 
of paper ar saved, and 1232 lines of type ar saved! 

Think what it would mean to the printing and publishing in- 
dustry if Simplified, Reformd Spelling wer in general use thruout 
the United States! 

Think of the time saved in reading so many pages of useless 
letters! 

Think of the time and energy wasted in teaching children to spel 
English as she is ritten, but not as she is pronounst.
